Winter driving basics
* Maitain traction
gearing down ahead of downgrades can help avoid brake wear and reduce the chances of sliding
Braking
Gentle pumping action on disc brakes will avoid locking the wheels and sending the vehicle into a skid or spin.
Anti-lock braking systems provide this action for you.
- Four-wheelers can´t stop better or faster on ice and snow than 2WD vehicles, even if they are locked into four wheel drive.

vehículos con dos ruedas motrices o 2x4


Explanation:
En primer lugar, se gún mi opinión, la preposición correcta es "en". La forma lógica de expresarlo en español sería: ¿En qué ruedas tiene tracción este vehículo? En las traseras, o en las delantras.
No diríamos "tiene la tracción A las ruedas traseras", por ejemplo.
O sea que opino que debería decirse "vehículo con tracción en dos ruedas" o, para hacerlo un poco más elegante, "con dos ruedas motrices"
Finalmente, otra posibilidad sería usar 2x4, siguiendo la lógica de 4x4. Se utiliza mucho también esta forma
