A method and system of controlling the traction of a vehicle having at least a front axle and a rear axle. One method includes determining a stability status of the vehicle, identifying a driving style of a driver of the vehicle, generating a first drive slip target, generating a second drive slip target, determining an engine torque produced by an engine of the vehicle, determining whether the engine torque is sufficient to support an application of the first and second drive slip targets, and generating at least one torque signal. The at least one torque signal is configured to alter an amount of torque that is applied to the front and rear axles of the vehicle according to the first and second drive slip targets, respectively.
