Apparently the TLX can power-on oversteer?
Happened to me 3 times today. I was driving in Sport+ foot to the floor around an onramp, offramp, and another offramp, and each of those 3 times, with traction control off, I did a bit of an oversteering slide around the tightest part of the corner. I have noticed in Sport mode the SH-AWD doesn't allow this, but in Sport+ it does. I tested it with the traction control on like it normally would be, and it still allows some mild power-on oversteer. It kind of took me by surprise the first time it happened.
To be clear, you could never drift in this thing, nor would one want to, but I was still surprised that it wasn't dialed to understeer 100% of the time.

BFGoodrich G-Force Comp-2 A/S. They seriously change the car. I don't know why Acura saw fit to absolutely hamstring the car with the shitty Goodyear LS2 tires. I sold those craptacular tires because they'd never been driven on outside of the PDI, and used the money for the BFG's. The dealer gave me Michelin X-ice xi3's for winter in substitute of stock tires (I bought in December).

That's definitely what caused it, 70% of the power to be exact. However, what I didn't expect was that it won't dial it in somewhat to completely prevent it. In my mind that's a good thing, I was just surprised is all because it's a relatively tame sedan without a whole lot of sporting pretensions.

Before I upgraded my LS2 tires I could get my tires to break loose all the time power accelerating through 90 degree corners in sport + and traction control ON even. It was kinda fun but it was because of the crappy tires. Now with my Michelin pilot AS3 tires they hardly ever lose grip which is a very good thing for safety and stability.
