Why would anyone take out brake fuse and vdc? If you have good enough tires the tires wont spin also im upgrading my vdc so I dont have to worry about spinning tires (which only wastes time and rubber) unless your in a burnout contest the less wheel spin the quicker the car goes. Lamans cars have vdc tudor championship series cars(nissan 370Z in this series) have vdc so if race cars that fly around the track use high tech vdc so am I. Anyone ripping out fuses and vdc are dumb and only goung yo waste money on tires needlesly because the poor tires are just standing still spinning and smoking. Which even a slow 83 crown vic could do!

Just wait until you are in the middle of a turn. With the rear just staring to come out as you are rotating the car. Everything feels fine. Then the Nanny God of Auto Correct (VDC) decides to apply a brake on you. To straighten the car out.

Supersports are the only tire that I haven't had to throw away at the end of the summer. Great tires

I have a random question about the tread pattern on pss's. What's the theory behind having wider tread grooves? the ones that run all the way around the tire. Looking at other tire tread patterns the grooves look narrower than pss's. Does the wider groove help improve a specific characteristic of the tire? Wet handling maybe? Also, I'm gonna be ordering a set of these soon and CAN'T WAIT!!

I assume you were responding to this post? The represents sarcasm

Turning VDC OFF keeps the car from cutting throttle when slip is detected. Removing the STOP LAMP fuse keeps the car from braking when slip is detected. Some people are using this car in a manner where those safety features are detrimental to their driving experience (I just hope they are doing it in a controlled environment).
