My car (like most I guess these days) displays the ambient temperature

shown so I know when to crawl along at 5mph.
Mine has one of these too, and generally I take it to mean I shouldn't
exceed 119mph, as that's the max speed rating for the winter tyres.
heh. The Jeep has a digital external temp. display - if it's lower
than 2C I just stick it into permanent 4x4 and drive as per any other
day.
So, you are approaching a bend at 50 mph. The bend has ice over all of
the road. All 4 wheels are on ice. How does your precious 4wd help
then?
It increases maximum cornering speed by approximately 7%, IIRC. Can't be
bothered to find a cite, though.
