Claim:
1. A vehicle traction control system comprising: first and second wheels on an axle; a plurality of acceleration sensors measuring a lateral acceleration and a longitudinal acceleration; a controller in communication with the plurality of acceleration sensors and determining a maximum supportable drive torque for the first wheel as a function of the lateral acceleration and the longitudinal acceleration; and a brake device for applying a commanded vectoring brake torque to the first wheel, wherein the commanded vectoring brake torque is an amount by which a driveline torque delivered to the first wheel exceeds the maximum supportable drive torque, wherein the maximum supportable drive torque is a function of a radius of a tire on the first wheel and a first wheel maximum longitudinal force; and wherein the first wheel maximum longitudinal force is a function of a first wheel maximum force and a first wheel lateral force.
