Big tires, Low Trac light on brake what the hell? Thats right, since I put skinnies and 275's the ABS of course is lit all the time, but also a LOW TRAC light comes up, and theres a noise like in the master cylinder right behind the steering wheel like a prrrrrr noise lol, and the brake gets a lil hard and shakes, it does it not often but when It does feels like crap to hit the brake, why or what is that?

It never happens with the street tires, only with this ones and sometimes it does it when Im not even braking, out of nowhere LOW TRAC and the brake gets hard for like 3 seconds and then is gone(thats with the asr off and ABS INOP) so no aid is causing it

this has been mentioned in the past...if there is approx. a 3/4"-1" difference in tire height, this will kick the abs signal on. Some said it did,others not til more than 1 inch.

The same damn crap you are describing is happening to me too... i posted a thred about it but not many people responded on it. I have 275s in the rear but my ratio is correct so my tires arent any taller than the stock ones just wider but my low trac light is getting kicked on when braking for no apparant reason? i dunno what the crap is up
