Need help
I'm getting "TRACTION SYSTEM ACTIVE" and it slows the car down. This is happening even driving at regular speeds. It started when I had new tires put on the rear last week, but the tire sensors seem to be working. Any ideas. 2001, A4

Did you replace with stock size tires? If not, it could be related to that.
If so, perhaps one of the tire speed sensor connectors (not sure of the exact name) was knocked loose when the tires were installed.
Good Luck
