Could any of you guys tell me if the ATTS have any benefit in the snow or would it be null and void? (I realize it's not a LSD).

Thank you.

 

No benefit.

thanks man. nice new avatar.

 

I suggest pulling the ATTS fuse for the winter. I've tried it both on and off for the past 4 winters, and the car is much more comfortable with it disabled. Basically, it doesn't do well on variable traction surfaces - so disabling it allows more predictable winter weather handling.

Yup, the ATTS is not made for snow.

On dry roads, the ATTS still suffers from some understeer if you go into a corner/curve too fast.

Imagine on ice/snow covered roads.

 

i would think it would be easier to "burn out" the ATTS system in the snow/ice aswell. no?

I doubt it. The only way you can burn out the ATTS is by slamming the car and riding around like that for a long time.

Or by abusing it w/ auto-xing, hard driving, scca...etc

And having different size wheels/tires in the front. (but who the hell in their right mind would do that?)

On ice/snow, you'd probably burn out the ABS instead.

IMHO, ATTS doesn't work too well in snow/ice. Honda didn't make ATTS for rally use. But it did saved my *** a few times on dry roads.
