Re: Wheels - New Territory
Kiwistu,
I tend to agree with your comments on the DSC but keep in mind that it will have been optimised for the factory wheel/tyre combo.
It'll also be taking into account relative speed differences it would anticipate for those wheel/tyres due to things like deflection under load (dependant in part on profile) and the slip angle of that tread/profile/compound when accessing the actual trajectory of the vehicles vs the steering input. Further it will be making compensations (braking individual wheels, adjusting power) based on the car having the grip of the std wheel/tyre combo.
It's not the off-the-line traction control or braking (ABS) skid control you need to think about its the effects when going at higher speeds when its doing it's Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) tricks.
All reports indicate it works very well and very unobtrusively. It's not that it won't work at all with different wheel/tyres but it's unlikely to work as well.
