VDC and Slip light = less power?

I just want to make sure that I am reading this and understanding what is there.

So.......you are ahead and shift from 3rd to 4th. VDC kicks in and the car bogs down. Your buddy zips past you as you regain power. Is that it?

Well i dont feel the car regaining power. its so much difference that if i continue going into 5th its like if he was a racing a diesel pathfinder or something like that.. I really want to fix this, so probably i hope to see a code in the scanner or at last instance take it to the dealer.

I believe a I have the same problem. Do you have the stock tires?
I put on two Nitto Invos and it seems that tires have a lower performance that the brigdestone making the car inestable when you take it to the edge. Brigdestone have a 140 treadwear and the Nitto's have over 200.

I switch to bridgestone and the problem was gone.

I changed them for michelin pilot sport with higher treadwear as well.. hope thats not the issue since they where expensive
