then it's not the car, it's you that is reacting too slow to driving conditions... like forgetting to swap to snow tires.

No man. I already put my winter wheels and tires on over a month ago. I have the 18 inch base model wheels along with bridgestone blizzak lm 60 tires. I am not crazy enough to drive on snow with summer tires

oh ok. then consider the tire squirm as the reason why it takes longer for VDC to react. snow tires have longer (deeper) treads and use softer compound so it's normal for the car to feel slower to respond to your inputs.

which means, VDC will respond slower too.

i thought smart folks read the internets.
