Honestly, beside those snow-tires questions... the other thing I don't understand is some people bashing on the VDC saying it's useless.. blah... blah... blah.....

I understand sometimes it takes away some fun from spirit-driving, but some people in the forums are rookies or non-experienced, should we confuse them with this kind of information....???

It's an active-safety feature prevent the vehicle from losing control.... don't understand why people will say it's not safe....

Next we should tell people: "dude... you better unplug the airbag cos what it only does is to smack your face when you crash..!!"

Not to mention they're heavy, when you're trying to let the rear end slip out with VDC off...

i dont bash vdc, but i too dont use it most of the time. reason being, i know how my car spins so having that on makes me actually lose control vs gain control, especially in very slippery conditions.

i didnt use vdc in the snow at all when i drove my G in the snow with LM60's. i had zero problems in deep snow. i had more issues with vdc on. with rwd, i steer my car with the throttle often.

unless im having problems keeping the car to go straight in super slick conditions even with snow tires, i dont use vdc.

most of the time it's the poor tire choice people make for the weather/season and just lack of experience and maturity. what i really dont get are people that buy expensive wheels and mod suspension then settle on some shitty tires.. then crash. then blame it on vdc-off. it's not the car, it's you.
