What Makes a Car Good for Snow in GTA Online
Before we start, you need to know how to tell if a vehicle is good for driving on snow in GTA Online. There is a stat in each vehicle called Off-Road Traction Loss, which determines how much grip the car loses when driving outside of the road. This includes grass, first, sand, and snow. This means the less Off-Road Traction Loss a vehicle has, the easier it is to drive on snow.
However, there are other aspects to consider when choosing a car to drive in snow. This is why most off-road vehicles work well because they are designed for these rough terrains.
