ABSTRACT:
In control apparatus and method for a four-wheel drive vehicle, when the vehicle in which two tire wheels having different radii from those of originally equipped tire wheels are mounted as either front tire wheels or rear tire wheels is running at a speed exceeding a reference speed (approximately, 40 km/h), a rate of distribution of an engine driving force between mainly driven tire wheels and auxiliarily driven tire wheels set on the basis of a rotation speed difference between the mainly and auxiliarily driven tire wheels (.DELTA.V.sub.W) is modified so that the driving force distributed to the auxiliarily driven tire wheels can be maintained constantly at its minimum limit so as to prevent a control hunting of the driving force distribution to the auxiliarily driven tire wheels based on the rotation speed difference from occurring.
