Hiya Jon... Super interested in the Cooper AT3s or XLT's w/ the 65k mi. warranty as my replacements in a couple of months. I've read that they are quiet and smooth running tires. What size did you go with? Happen to have any pics??
No person who is googling how to drive in the snow/ice should EVER be turning their traction control off.
They're quiet and good in rain. I got 265/70-17's. They fit fine stock but I have a 1.5" level that's not installed yet.
That's why I'm researching and try in my experience. I want to be independent so I don't have to ask a question but in order to be at my goal I have to keep asking for what could be the better options. I'm pretty knowledgeable person except the subjects that I never been through. This topic that I mentioned could be that.
You apparently don't know what you want. This entire thread is about you asking how to enable MORE nannies. Yet you're intentionally disabling those that you have.
So pretty much the way you are telling me is bening a nanny yourself. All the things that you metioned of course I did and everyone assume that this person may tried already because we're grown man. But then when the accident happened I turned back and thought what was wrong from that so I search different thing if that works. But I do not know what is actually diff lockers do as well as traction control so I asked on this forum is it wrong way to gether information? I don't think so. You said don't be ignorant. But I want to say being an ignorant is when you are confident because you thought you knows everything. But I also take your advice thanks ?You apparently don't know what you want.

Despite your "feelings" on the subject, when you're new, you want all the help you can get. Guaranteed that disabling traction control played a factor in your wreck.
Sometimes you've got to keep your own ego in check. There's nothing wrong with being inexperienced. Don't be ignorant.
A good rule of thumb for new drivers. If you have no idea what it does, don't turn it off.
Thanks for your all paragraphs but I think you and the person in previous misunderstood me. Because asking in forum also could be my information source. I'm not just asking without any research on it but also gathering more information on this. I also watched YouTube but for example, YouTube can just says this is the must have item. I watched a YouTube vedio that shows traction test on the snow there is differences between diff lock and TM (please don't go too far that is not the only one vedio that I've been watching) it seems like diff lock and TM kinda helps on the snow. However, as I looked the all replies on my questions most people said no need for those. So all resources can tell me different so I have to analyze myself. Also you mentioned humble. But I don't even know why you mentioned that to me. I have no clue why you are saying that I need to be humble not being a cocky person. But I'm trying my best to be humble all the time so thanks for advice anyway. Everything that I've replying to the previous person because he misunderstood me like you that I need a more nannies or you're saying that I'm not a humble because you thought I'm only trusting my knowledge but I'm not. That is why I'm asking questions. I think asking is one of the step for being humble.
There's also a thing called being humble and acknowledging what you do and do not know. And you can't seem to make up your mind about whether you want to be humble or not.
At times you're cocky and overconfident. And this is why you don't want to disable settings on your vehicle, especially when you don't know what they do. It's gonna bite you in the ass. And it did bite you in the ass.
I haven't actually found myself in a situation where turning off the traction control was useful for me. The things I'm most likely to turn off are the parking sensors, lane departure, and other road-focused features when I'm driving off-road. And usually not until I get in a situation where that setting is bothering me (mostly because I forget to push all the buttons to turn that stuff off). There. I said it. I leave traction control on when I'm driving off-road. I simply haven't found myself in a situation where it got in my way. ESPECIALLY on-road. I really don't miss my back tires spinning on the painted lines at intersections when it's wet outside (as used to happen regularly on pre-traction control pickup trucks I've driven).
Also, asking questions in a forum probably shouldn't be your first step for information on a subject, either. You should probably make an attempt to locate the information elsewhere. Info about differential lockers is all over the place. There are some really good sources (especially in this case, videos on youtube) that explain what they are and when they're best used. My Ranger is my first vehicle with a locker and I spent a good bit of time watching some of those videos to learn about it. Save your forum questions for after you've looked at other information and have additional questions.
The terrain management settings do what they're supposed to do, which is to help keep your tires turning when you want to go forward (by adjusting the traction control settings). But they don't prevent you from driving too fast for the conditions. There's no vehicle system that does that. That one is on the driver, always.
Sound advice right there! You can take that to the bank and deposit it!

He is not wrong. Leave all nannies on. 2 accidents in the snow and ice shows a lack of experience. Not that it is bad, we all start somewhere. Start slow, nannies on.
nannies( a person, in particular a woman, employed to look after a child in its own home. ) refer to all those computer controlled modern safety features that work 99% of the time. but in the case where you are stuck in sand or snow you need them turned off to spin tires and help get out... or do doughnuts in the snow. the best way to learn to drive in bad conditions is to drive in bad conditions but in a safe controlled environment like an empty parking lot
