TC (short for Traction Control) is designed to prevent loss of traction of the driven road wheels, and therefore maintain the control of the vehicle when excessive throttle is applied by the driver and the condition of the road surface (due to varying factors) is unable to cope with the torque applied. You may have turned it off and it is showing you that its off or you may have a faulty TC.

If a tire is unbalanced, the unbalanced dynamic forces causes the tire to run eccentrically. This eccentric movement causes reduced tire traction. The loss of traction results in a power loss, thus MPG is reduced. Additionally, unbalanced tires wear out faster. A tire that is out of balance can also impact your vehicle
In a not at fault accident your vehicle was deemed total loss but you had aftermarket wheels on the vehicle that were damaged will the compensate you for those wheels?
Yes,,And if you add these or any other modifications to your vehicle, I would add this on to your own policy as "customization" so that if you have a comp or collision claim on your own policy, it is covered. This may depend on which insurance company is paying the claim, yours or the at fault person's. Your company many not cover your after market wheels if you did not purchase coverage for customized items on your vehicle. If the at fault party's insurance is paying you then yes they should take in to consideration the custom wheels on your vehicle.
