My old XR6t traction control would go berserk if the rears lost traction but my new GS seems to spin quite happily?

The traction control program in the FG allows much more slip before intervention occurs. It's much better in my opinion.Benny. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82024-gs-traction-control/#findComment-1298377 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might go for 265s on the back. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82024-gs-traction-control/#findComment-1298408 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find the traction control in the FG to be much better as it allows more slip rather than killing everything like the old BA/BF program use to.Benny.

I can still turn them in first but second is all grip, still running a factory tune for the moment.Benny.
