Do you dream of conquering off-road or just want to feel confident on country roads? In this article, we will tell you what the car's passability depends on, what factors determine it, and how to improve the passability of your "iron horse". You can also make your car more practical and perfect if you use tuning accessories, a large assortment of which is available in our product catalog.

Factors affecting the passability of the car

Car design

1. Drive type:

• Front-wheel drive: suitable for driving on asphalt and light off-road.
• Rear-wheel drive: provides better passability on slippery and loose surfaces.
• All-wheel drive: the most versatile option, suitable for driving on any type of road.

2. Ground clearance (clearance): the higher it is, the better the car will overcome obstacles.

3. Geometric patency: entry, exit and ramp angles.

4. Suspension type: independent suspension provides a more comfortable ride, but is less suitable for off-road.

5. Tires: type of tires (road, all-season, mud).

Driver skills

• The ability to use the transmission correctly.
• Knowledge of off-road driving techniques.
• Driving experience in difficult conditions.

External conditions

• Off-road type: snow, mud, sand, stones.
• Weather conditions: rain, snow, fog.
• The presence of a rut.

How to improve the passability of the car

• Increase ground clearance.
• Install off-road tires.
• Install protection of the bottom of the car.
• Install the winch.
• Learn off-road driving techniques.

It is important to remember that even the most passable car cannot cope with impassable off-road. Therefore, before going on a trip, it is necessary to carefully study the route and evaluate your options.

Conclusion

Passability is an important factor that must be taken into account when choosing a car. If you plan to drive off-road, then you need a car with four-wheel drive, high clearance and "evil" tires.

Remember about safety! Do not overestimate your capabilities and do not take unnecessary risks.
