no traction control on my car- so I assume the car doesnt have it. I was just reading about the spring spacers- you might want to check to see if yours are still in. If they are, then you need to remove them.

I bet its rear Potenzas that are near bald. 15K on original tires? If so, change them puppies in the rear at least.

You control the traction the old fashoned way - with your right foot.

The search button should help you find out more about the maintenance light.

either your tires are in bad shape OR the dealer didn't take out your spring spacers during PDI. take it in and have them double check that, there are so many s2k's on the road with spring spacers still installed .

PDI is the safety inspection they do before the car is delivered, and the spring spacers are put in at the factory to raise the car so it does not scrape when loading/unloading from the truck/boat!

HTH,
