I never mess with TC on the street unless its time for a burnout... No other reason to have it off on the street.
On track I prefer OFF as opposed to COMP mode. I like knowing that all the corrections are my own, not the cars. If there was a way to disable the ABS, I would do that as well on track.

After I had my supercharger installed for about a month, I decided I would do a WOT pull with traction control off. Holy ****! 
On the throttle, spin, let off, on the throttle spin, let off, repeat. Wild ride.

My car didn't come with that little dial on the glove box. Is it possible to add it now, with OEM parts? That is about the only thing that the car is lacking, and if it makes that much of a difference, I would be interested in installing it. What exactly does this do? I was thinking it was for ride only, ie suspension, am I wrong?

Turned it off once in a parking lot, tried doing a 360 and put a little to much pepper on the throttle and scared the bagesus out of myself...now it stays on...haven't tried turning it off at the track just yet

Too many stories about "geniuses" tuning it off and wrapping their car around a pole or putting it in a ditch. Seems SILLY not to leave it on for the street, more and more cars are coming with these features standard and the computer can react MUCH faster than your GREY computer, let it do what it's designed for.

i.e.
Touring + TCS On
Touring + TCS Off
Touring + Comp Mode
Sport + TCS On
Sport + ...
etc. etc.
I personally don't have magnetic ride control.

I automatically turn it off every time I get in the car. Not only do I not need any help driving, but currently once in a while my front left TPMS goes out and later (not sure why) when I'm driving on the highway the active handling comes on and makes car car swerve to one direction. I end up with a bunch of codes on the front left wheel related to Active Handling.
The only TPMS-related item mentioned in the ABS/TC/AH section is in the scan-tool data section where it refers to the 'TIM' (Tire Inflation Monitor) input, which is just a yes/no value indicating whether TPMS is installed. But none of the subsequent diagnostic procedures ever refer at that input.
