TC on or off?

I was wondering if you guys drove with your tc on or off and whether there was a benifit using it versus having it off or vice versa.

I drive with it on, now that I think of it, maybe I should try it off one day.

I turn mine off when I feel the need for speed but leave it on for daily driving, the guy on top is right....If u turn it off you need to be more careful.

I usually leave mine on unless I want to have some fun. When I turn it off I always turn off traction control AND stabilitrac (just hold in the button for 7 seconds and you will see both lights light up). I think I remember reading somewhere that you get better mpg with it off.

Yeah. Thats the kinda stuff i was wondering about. I am also thinking that having it off would wear the tread off your tires faster.

I think imma try driving with it off to see how it feels and see if the mpg is better.

It'll wear your tires faster if you turn it off to do burnouts and donuts but if you drive normal I don't see why it would wear them down faster. <<<Don't do that lol
