Low Traction?
So whenever i'm in 2nd and i really get on it(14-16lbs boost guess cause i'm in ohio fail oh well) it almost always makes the tires break loose, and i get the annoying low traction message.. is this just due to moderate tires or does anyone else have this going on.. and what can i do to fix it outside of not getting on it in 2nd hah

There's so much misinfo in here my head hurts 
First, you only have to click it once to turn T/C off. Twice enables launch and keeps T/C off. If you hold it for 5 seconds it turns off T/C and ESC.
Secondly, you can NLS in any mode. GM stated that they did not want it to be mode specific incase someone didn't remember which mode they needed to be in, so you can NLS in any mode. I usually turn T/C off as a precaution because if I'm NLSing and the wheels slip, I don't want T/C kicking in and braking.
Third, at 14-16 psi it sounds like you're on the stock tune so if you're busting the tires free at that level you need better tires. If you ever get GMS1 or a 22-24 psi tune you will eat those tires up in no time.

Seeing as how this thread ended up on a NLS topic I have a question. How SLOW can you NLS without damage? I found too fast I'm binding and John said in my thread to slow it down a bit. If say I take like a full sec-1.5 sec to shift bouncing off the rev limiter, how and what is this going to hurt????
