I will say this
with my limited knowledge of snow driving ,I live in south Louisiana
good tires will go a LONG way
our KJ had NO ESP/TC of any type it did have ABS and I did like that
I drove a JK with all the ESP/TC and it is fun on good dry ground ,it will drive the Jeep
forward even on only 2 wheels but it SUCKED when the ground was wet
it would move a little then slow then move then slow
our KJ we could just easy on the gas and drive right on through
I have heard that the ESP/TC does the same thing in the rain ,
which if I am trying to pull out in traffic the last thing I want is the car to decide that it needs to slow me down
because it can not see the on coming traffic
This was a hold back on the VW so I did my home work
I went and drove one in the rain and yeah when you mash the gas in the rain the dash
lights up like a christmas tree but the car does go and go fairly fast
My point is that the different mfg.'s make different systems some work better than others
The TC in my TJ will work 100% of the time and there is not 1 situation where it will
ever cut power nor let a wheel spin if I am giving it gas
that is some TC
ARB front Detroit out back ,100% traction 100% of the time ,as long as I put it in 4wd
and flip the switch
