Are you sure you are getting the nannies shut off completely, by holding down the button for several seconds ... not just punching it ...??

how many miles do you have?
stock tires suddenly lost a lot of grip at 7k miles
it loses traction regardless of what i do, i just keep the no grips to a minimum ..

stock tires here are Bridgestone all-seasons, not summer Prius tires, perhaps a reason some cars stick and others slide?

Keep it in first and go from 40% throttle to WOT on any 90% turn (mid turn). I guarantee the back end will kick out every time. No kick or handbrake needed.

accel early and hard. I autox for the first time and with vsc in sport mode the tail came out every time. I got my fastest time with all the nannies on because of it. Remeber higher rpms are needed too due to the low tq.

Yup, Even tried the pedal dance once. I'm hesitant to mess around too much with the nannies off though.
