Hello everyone! On a 2020 Honda Civic Sport Touring manual transmission, is it better to turn off traction control and receive a little tire chirp when shifting quickly at high rpm, or to keep traction control on and avoid wheel spin? It honestly feels more uncomfortable when traction control is turned on, and it compensates by slowing you down. But is it really that horrible to get a little chirp? The only thing hurting is the clutch, right?
Hey! A little tire chirp can be fun, but frequent chirping can wear down your tires and clutch over time. Traction control helps with stability and prevents wheel spin, even if it feels slower. If it’s occasional, it’s not a big deal, but for daily driving, traction control is safer.
