I have dedicated winter tires for Nordic conditions, so the tires should be good. They are stud-less tires, but still should be good on snow and ice. Within reason of course.
A thing that can affect the tires is if the rubber has "gone" off, then they become very hard the colder it gets, but these are no so old that that should be an issue. It's about 14 degrees here at the moment.
It's just that it feels like there is something "pushing" when I depress the pedal to stop, so the vehicle has a tendency want to slide a bit further than I would expect.
My theory was that it might be that the rear brakes are not engaging enough, so they are actually still being spun by the engine, whereas the front wheels are held by the brakes and lock??
I have other vehicles without this issue.
