Default traction control?

Do you guys run with TC on or off? How effective have you found it, ever benefited from it?

Only for safety if you can't control the wheel spin yourself. It is not a performance traction control.

I just leave it on, the only time I turn it off is if I wanna do something dumb.

I don't have it on my car, even after I bought the button for it and plugged the wire in I would use it anyways as I like to slip and slide (only cause it is a weekend/nice driving day car)

well if you cant control the car, leave it on.
Not trying to burst your bubble, but Im a girl, and I turned mine off w/ my chip, therefor its never on. Its alot of fun when your trying to show off at the last second. It sucks when you dont remember to turn it off & you just end up stalling out....total mood killer
