So does VSC/Traction Control even monitor the front wheels?
Because I just did a 15-20 ft slide with my (almost bald) front tires while (intentionally) doing a sharp turn at 35-40 mph.
I was testing out my new MPSS tires I got for my
rears.
Fronts will be replaced soon too, but I just wanted to have a little fun in the rain in the meantime.
With stickier rear tires and no one around me, I downshifted and took the turn alot sharper than I needed just to see what the nannies would do during an understeer slide.. And the nannies did NOT interfere at all. I let the car slide its front tires for a second or two until I got close to the curb before letting off the gas pedal (the fronts caught on as soon as I did).
I wasn't going that fast so the rears stuck like glue. And I didn't touch any of the VSC/traction buttons.
So no slipping in the rear = no nannies?
