Traction Control was never fitted to the Desmonds (4 pots). So no, you don't have it :y

If i could have bought them again I would have:

http://www.productreview.com.au/p/goodyear-eagle-ventura.html

They were on the car when i bought it, only had to replace them 50k later due to outside edge wearing, still had tread in the centre!

Rock hard compound, but, that said they gave me enough traction in last years snow! Never got stuck!  8-)

Certain V6 owners did not like them though  ::)

They were a fantastic tyre, except they would break traction when accelerating (even with a 2.2), too eager to lock up under breaking, and didn't like assisting the car change direction.

So, if the car never speed up, slowed down, or turned, they were excellent.
