Default Traction control problems

Hey everyone,

I have a 2007 C6 and for a while now for some reason when I am accelerating at around 60-65 the traction control kicks in and starts breaking the wheels. I have gotten new tires and have check everything else and was wondering if anyone knows what the problem might be.

It might be related to your tire height ratio.
What size wheels and tires are you running.

Traction control should cut spark and you feel a loss of power.

Active handling will apply breaking to control the back end from coming around.

The DIC will flash to let you know which system is being applied.

Did you change tire or rim sizes?
