Default traction control: 1st time with the new car

on factory street tires, do yall run with traction control on or off? when i turn traction control off, my tires spin really bad and i can never hook up but with it on they dont spin as bad but i can hook up usually on the street. should i run with traction control on or off and what would be the difference in time with it on or off when i could hook up? i have a stock 2002 z28 A4 with 3.23 gears.

Thanks

I dont run with my T/C on . Just learn how much throttle you can go without blowing the tires off . My 245 50 16 goodyears used to dead hook with stock gearing (273's) and torque converter . 2.04 60 ft

Just let some air out of your tires and turn off the T/C and do a good burnout.
