I'm concerned it will potentially affect handling - if that front right wheel is supposed to grab and give me power in a dynamic stability situation, it could be ugly. ALso, if it's just the TC, would that affect the shifting, and make a gear change rough? Mine has the AT6.

I can't see winter tires being the cause of this condition. Although, that is when it began...
