Even with the stock tires and the traction control fully turned off, I am unable to spin the tires on a dry surface. Haven't tried a wet surface yet. Are you perhaps in Manual mode?
95% of the time I'm driving in Eco mode, I'm hardly ever in much of a rush, and I can't lie, I love the attention I get with the car, so i don't mind driving in Eco.
Nope it was on dry pavement but my 3is is rwd maybe that's why
be carefull what you wish for lol. we had 90+ inches of snow plus 40 below 0 most of the winter in chicago
It could be worse man we been having flash floods since yesterday several cars have been pushed off the road do to flooded roads. I haven't drove my Lexi so I won't loose her to a flooded road. :/

I wish we got hit with a good size snow storm in southern arizona were lucky if it even sticks for atleast 3 days
I love Arizona, you don't want snow, 3 years ago my city was the second coldest place on earth at 47.5 Celsius (-53.5 fahrenheit). I plan on moving somewhere where the only snow I see is on TV. It's overrated.
I tend to do my daily commute in Eco mode to save a bit on gas. I live in Colorado though so anytime I can take it into the mountains it's sport mode for sure. I tend to skip the "normal" mode completely.

Do you find you have as much power being so high in altitude not sucking in as much air when pushing your car?
Maybe my engine is still running in but fuel consumption is terrible in any mode. I don't get much improvements driving eco vs sport at all. As long as the engine is on it just munches petrol. .. haha
I've come to hate normal mode, it's laggy and not as smooth as eco, makes too much noise and bad throttle response. Eco mode is fine in traffic and freeway, and sport any other time.
Sport+ is good if you want to take someone on or have some amazing driving roads, but for general driving suspension gets a bit too stiff for my liking!

It's definitely not as fast. You're taking about a second+ longer for your 0-60 than at sea level. The higher you go the slower it gets. But you don't really notice it because what's more important at that point is how it handles the curves at speed. There's not a lot of 0-60 "flooring it" in mountain driving. You need handling on the curves and power to pass quickly.
I live in a hilly area with lots of curves. So, to enjoy the car to the fullest, I am always in Sport +, except when I am on the interstate. Only then am I in regular mode.
normal, to have some fun I do Sport+ in M mode. In Manual mode I can at least get above the 5th gear limit Sport+ seems to have
On the highway I switched from Normal to Sport and S+, when I went into M it was in the 7th gear pos. I can get 7th gear on the highway in S+ if you keep it at the same speed for a short length of time.
