1WhiteSSTC

So since I'm no mechanic I figured I'd put this out there and see wat ppl have to say......with the roads the way they are I end up having ESC/TCS kick in ALOT and occasionally ABS.......how long till wear/tear kick in and something to do with the ESC/TCS breaks? What types of parts would be breaking?

The TCS just cuts engine power, so it shouldn't really wear anything out... In theory. That being said, I'd just turn it off. It shunts the driveline whenever you get wheelspin and impedes far more progress than it ever helps.

The ESC uses the brakes to right the car when it senses yaw, so this could cause issues. I'd recommend trying to steer more deliberately so as to correct yaw before the ESC snaps in. Drive around in a snowy lot for a bit with all driver aids off to get a feel for how the car snaps out. The ESC is a nice safety net, but you can substitute it with smooth driving.
