Default new tires causing abs / tcs inop?

fronts are 275/35/18, rears are 295/35/18 nitto invos. I know several people running this set up and they have no problem with their abs inop and tcs light. I know dfferent tire sizes can cause this problem, but it only happens on highway driving so i dont think its the tire size that is the problem. Any idea? Wheel speed sensor?

As long as the tire diameters are the same as the OEM, or not more that a certain percentage difference from each other, the ABS/TCS doesn't care what size is on the sidewall
Sounds like a speed sensor has gone bad or isn't getting a correct signal, check the wires and connectors first
