traction control system problem
Hi,
I have C6 since 1 year. Last week I change the tire from good year to nitto. And the front sizes still the same where the rear size gets bigger (305/30) and I notice that the traction system gets work so many times (when full paddle is applied).
When full acceleration is applied the traction system is working (disconnection the accelerator paddle) after the speed reduce slightly and i shift up my foot and re press it back it get work for few second and again the traction system works (with full paddle pressing).
Could it be due to the tire sizing? Or malfunction of the traction system.
Note that with the previous tire i never get this happened this happen in range of 140KM to 200KM.
Does any one get the same issue?

The C6 TC & A/H depend on the ABS tire speed sensors on each wheel. If you change just the rear or just the front diameter the electronics get confused. You must keep the "stagger" in tire sizes the same as stock (ie; Front tire smaller than the Rear tire by the same %).
Lots of Internet sites to calculate tire diameter. Here's 1.
