I agree, the only time I had an issue last winter was when I was messing around deliberately to see what the cars limit was. It happened in the exact scenario you described, going up a hill with TC on at low speeds. Aside from that I never had an issue.
Kind of surprised at the vote count so far, I thought it would be a tighter contest based on earlier forum research.
Also looks wise I kind of like the all black steelies, makes it look kind of tougher imo. I'm a bit bias cause I have a dark colour anyways so it does blend a bit easier.
