True, there is some ASR intervention at the 1-2 upshift, esp. on a cool night, but a great deal of wheelspin occurs throughout most of first gear. If the snow chain function served to block ASR for most of first gear (up to 35 mph, tranny shifts at ~40 mph), wouldn't it still aid your launch considerably?

Personally, I think we should all slap 275s on the rear wheels and forget about ASR altogether. Although I've heard that our beasts will peel a 275 as well.
