I guess a ban on Chinese commercial tires during Clinton's administration before Chinese entrance into WTO was for a reason - safety!
Need advice, no traction on slick road whatsoever.

These the tires? If so, closed shoulders really suck in snow. Probably a hard compound for better wear and fuel economy, but that harder rubber gets even worse in the cold.
And you're right about traction control, it basically just limits power.

Could very well be tires. But I also noticed that he didn't engage his power divider until he was back at the bottom. If I start spinning I back off to stop the spinning, engage the power divider and downshift to get the rpms up and away from the higher torque of lower rpms. Though, as I have never drivers a modern autoshift, maybe I'm full of it.
As far as the traction control thing, theoretically it uses the abs system to stop the spinning wheels and transfer the power to the other side so you stay moving. Theoretically.Ol'Shusquatch and not4hire Thank this. -
In my experience, auto-shift transmission works exactly as manual one if I switch it to manual mode and shift it with my fingers.

95% sure if it has ECAS, it's a 6x2. And if it's not working, it's not dumping the air in the dead axle to put weight on the drive axle. So being a 6x2, ECAS not working, and crappy drive tires, itll all accumulate into crap traction.

Got to pick and choose your spots too.
