Do you have stock rims & tires? I've never heard of this happening, but it sounds like an issue with the TCS or VDC . . .

275-45 sounds like too big of a sidewall.... not that there's a limit or anything but your front tires are 245-40. That's a really short sidewall. That means your wheels are gonna be spinning at different speeds. No big deal except that if your front and rear wheels aren't spinning at close to the same ratio as they were from stock, the tcs will freak out. Keep this thread alive, someone else who knows more can verify what I've said.

OR YOU CAN just turn off the bloody tcs...

yeah i hear that... but, at higher speeds the propensity for error increases since the relationship is a ratio. On the other hand, I don't know why slower spinning wheels would cause it to activate.
