Default Traction control

I have noticed lately that my tires are breaking loose when I take off from a stop. Yesterday it started to fish tail. 2015 Z06 Automatic. I have never messed with the traction control. Any one else with this problem? Thanks

Are the tires cold? Payment cold? What mode are you in?

Stay in it, it will straighten out. Breaking traction at the 2nd to 3rd shift around 75mph is a lane changer too.
Don't take my advice, my insurance only covers myself.

Thanks for all the replys. I took it into a dealer in Denver who deals in Corvetts and had it checked out. They went through all the settings and everything checked out. They said the same things you guys said. Lower temps and the tires. They also said you are driving a race car on the street and to be careful.

Do you smell burnt rubber when this happens! Lower your tire pressure. You can also put it away til the spring. Super chargers love cold air. I ran 127mph through the gears a month ago. When I get bk up north in a few weeks I expect to beat that number easily. When u upgrade to a cai,LTH and pulley you'll forget about that small stuff! Good luck!
