This can be better than using the brakes, as it won't kick the ABS in either.
All these things are true for cornering also. It isn't that you have more grip, but you have the ability to generate more traction. And through that traction you can have greater directional control.
It is for these reasons that 4wd rally cars are substantially faster on loose and slippery surfaces compared to 2wd ones.

It does come down to driving style to some extent. But as already mentioned, using engine braking help a lot. In 2wd this may cause the rear wheels to lock up. 4wd will slow the wheels evenly and generally prevent lockup.fordem wrote:
I'd love to hear why/how 4WD allows more control when slowing and stopping.
