Default Active handling issues after 345s install?

I just recently installed 345s on my Grand Sport while keeping the front tires stock size for the first time and now I'm noticing the active handling is kicking in a lot more. I read a bunch of threads about switching to 345s and never noticed anyone having issues. Am I missing something here?

The only other thing is that I have a dead tire pressure sensor. Perhaps that is confusing the car somehow. I'll find out soon after I get it fixed.

What did you find out? What are the tire diameter differences between the 345s and the fronts? If it's more than 1-1/4" difference, that could be the problem. They need to be within an inch + difference or less!
After having my Vette's battery disconnected for a week or so, all the TPMS needed to be reset. My Vette would go about 10 ft and shutdown. Reset all four TPMS and the problem went away.
