The VDC is very sensitive to wheel spin and will kill the wheel spin before you even know it happened. My light was doing a lot of blinking this past weekend, temp was around 38 degrees. In the summer I find it a little aggressive at times, but in the winter or the rain it can definitely save your ass.
So true, I have 13,000 miles on my stock tires and they are almost bald (got new ones on the way) and the VDC comes on alot now as I punch it. Between the cold and no tread it comes on real easy.
