Yes, also. Turacher Höhe in Austria, old Vulcano in Kärnten. Tarmac in
the winter. Some snow/ice here and there. 23 percent. At the base off
the mountain there is a road sign in German which reads "4 wheel drive
car's only"
Kind regards,
Erik-Jan.

And on a 20 *percent* grade, your vehicle's weight is going to be pretty
equally distributed on both axles.

On an 80% grade, the Audi's weight is going to be almost entirely on its
*rear* wheels.
