Stopping distance depends mostly on the mass of your vehicle, the condition of your brakes, and the road surface

And your tires, which are probably the most important factor in winter. Idiots buy AWD/4WD vehicles and then don't bother with winter tires because they think all wheel drive means all wheel stop. Spoiler: all cars are all wheel stop
