Default ABS INOP and Brake light on need help!

My ABS INOP and Brake light are coming on and I cant find anything wrong . I can start the car and they are both off and as I drive a little bit both of them come on but I still have brakes. Now my low traction light has come on a few times lately and I can feel the brakes jump a bit when it does but I cant find the problem. I did just go to a taller tire in the rear and that is when it all started.

And yes my brake pads are still good and the car does not shake when coming to a stop.


Any suggestions?

Your taller tires are throwing off the ABS sensor. The rear wheel is turning at a different speed than the front, which throws off the ABS. It has no idea what to do right now so it just shuts itself off.
