Weren't you the guy who said he halls around 300lbs all the time to keep his rear end from sliding out?

You're the worst kind of moron. The kind that thinks he's smart and keeps trying to convince people that he is. Just give up already and realize your intellectual deficiencies.

yes he was.....as per the entire thread says before your post 😛
 
Dude, you do not understand what you are reading at all.

Slipping slightly for maximum traction has to do with tire deformation under load, heat, and adhesion, none of which are a factor on ice and snow. You get traction on ice and snow by using skinny tires with deep tread to cut through to the road surface.

Well then riddle me this. Why does the car not move at all when the traction control is on, but it easily gets out of ruts when the traction control is off? Are magic traction control fairies holding the car down? Or is it the simpler explanation that traction control sucks and that's why the car isn't moving?

You should also ask why so many people want the traction control to be turned off. If it made the car accelerate faster, we would insist on leaving it on all the time.

I agree that you should turn the T/C off.

And I already answered your question, as have several other people.
