That's a good question. I'll test on the way home from work and let you know. As far as I can tell the only CC release criteria are brake and clutch pedal travel or a sudden increase in RPM, like traversing a slippery patch from dry or shifting to N. I chose a size that is very near the rear wheel circumference to minimize the delta in speedometer readings between sets but will not be so large as to activate TCS while under low load. Through the drive in to work today I tested traction some more and I can audibly sense the drive wheels break traction on dry pavement just before TCS kicks in, so TCS is not activating unnecessarily.
