Had my first ever pair of snow tires installed on 976 just yesterday, a pair of 245/40/17 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22s. Now, I've never had much experience with winter tires before, but I'm getting a traction control light at or around 70mph, intermittently. Also seems to happen when I'm trying to merge during medium to hard acceleration on flyover ramps. I've never noticed any wheelspin like I have before with summer high performance tires so I'm thinking this could be related to just the tread pattern on these tires. As I recall I've never had t/c issues on the highway like this.
Here's a pic just to give everybody an idea:
So whats everyone's experience with winter tires? Could I just be getting a small amount of wheelspin with these grabby tires or could this be a traction control/computer issue? Any insight appreciated!
