Given those conditions, I'm not surprised by traction control kicking in. Winter tires are built to operate at colder temperatures AND handle ice and snow. They should feel less planted out of corners and during hard acceleration, particularly when it's 50+ outside. |
My take was going to be the temps too. You don't really even want winters on until the temp is capping out in the low 40s. At those high a temperature winters lose performance similar to how a summer will lose performance in the cold. The rubber composition just won't properly grip the road. I'd be curious if the problem still exists when it's <30-40 degrees out. |
Last two days have been 35-45 degrees as a high. On my shorter highway trips, no DSC interference in regular 4WD the few times I opened the car up. Tire temps were below 60 when fully warmed up and running. |
Sounds like they're working then
