#5 of 9 tried TCS off and then on by satz24 Aug 05, 2007 (6:40 pm)
hi guys thanks for the responses to date. I actually tried both TCS off as well as on. Neither seemed to make any difference to the rear wheels getting power... The tyres were new (the car was only 1 week old!) and were the Goodyear RSA mud and snow... cheers Satz Replies to this message: treepeony (Aug 06, 2007 2:36 am) bdyment (Aug 06, 2007 5:33 am)

Replying to: satz24 (Aug 05, 2007 6:40 pm) you might want to check the performance of the tires at tirerack.com. They evaluate tire performance in various conditions.

Replying to: satz24 (Aug 05, 2007 6:40 pm) Something is not working correctly. I would take it back to the dealer. Power should have sent to the rear wheels--at least a certain measurable amount of it.

Replying to: treepeony (Aug 05, 2007 4:42 am) I drove an AWD CX-7 through last winter with the standard Goodyear all season tires and it drove excellent with no problems. Your Massachusetts winter should be roughly equal to our Minnesota winters, so I feel that snow tires should be unneeded on this model.
