It is quite easy to slide it around street corners in the cold even when dry...the compound just falls off due to the ambient temp. change; where it stuck like like glue before
Yeah. Sometimes with TC on, I do manage to spin the tires accelerating in a straight line, even though I am not even pushing the throttle hard and trying to accelerate normal. That happens in 25 degrees F. or colder weather for me.

The coldest temp I have driven in was 9 degrees Fahreinheit.

The one time I turned TC off, it was in the rain. I accelerated in 2nd gear starting from 30mph going in a straight line, then my car went sideways. I almost crashed.

In this video, it was about 38 degrees Fahreinheit outside.
