active handling problem
I ordered tires when I was running out the door for work and accidently ordered 275/35/18's for the rear of my 03. Realized once mounted (due to the odd look) and figured they wouldnt last long anyway
. well, once on highway, the active handling comes on and around 60mph the car will not accelerate. I flip the control off and no problem. I know the suspension has to settle after jacked up, But I doubt thats the problem. The only other thing I can figure is the lower profile tire is throwing the spedo. off, But would that be such a difference to make the car think wheels are spinning. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The rear tire circumference is now too small, which is likely making the traction control system think the rear tires are spinning since they are turning faster than the fronts. Edit: Oops, I just now noticed the date. Probably solved by now.
