Unless there is someone who drives your car that rides the clutch ( most of the time ), = unlikely. When the clutch slipps it only gets worse. The FX200 is a good choise for street use. You would have had to beat the hell out of it for 6k, even then it still might not slip.

Bottom line, IMHO, you're getting a little wheel spin with the cold snow tires. DSC on or off won't make much difference in a straight line. The contact patch, tread design, snow to summer, is BIG. I'd bet you can find some roads, up hill, with some imperfect surfaces, where you can generate more wheel spin than others.
