Default Uncommon prob. with VDC/SLIP

Well... I read all the posts on here .. and couldnt find a answer to my problem.


While driving for about 5 minutes on the highway my VDC/SLIP will turn themselves off (MEANING ON THE DASH, BOTH LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON) At this point if I stop at a stop light I can basically light the tires on fire , BUT the car will start running like I am dragging a VW Bug behind me. Anyone got a clue what the deal is?????

improper tire size between front to back. if you had 17s from the factory, the tire size was .4" shorter between front and back, if you had oem 18s they are .7" difference between front and back. if you dont have tires that are a proper size between front and rear it could cause your vdc and tcs go crazy. judging from your sig a 19" wheels u have should have 245 35 19 fronts and 275 35 19 rears assuming u have the same brand also. thats all i can think of at this moment.
