Hey guys,

I have an 05 Track, with stock wheels. I recently replaced my rear tires with 245/45/18's (stock size) General Extremes. My front tires have never been replaced, and are at about 40% tread left.

Now the SLIP light comes on while driving on the freeway. I always thought if we stuck with stock size tires, the TCS would not get upset.

I need your advice guys. Should I buy a set of the same tires for the front? Will that help?

Thanks In Advance!

Drive for a few hundred more miles and see if it still does that.
New tires are usually slippery until driven for 300-500miles.

BTW never heard of General Extremes..but they sound like cheap tires...

yah, still gotta wear out that top covering on the tread. I only replaced my rear tires just like you, and had the slip light coming on while taking some corners, in the beginning. After a few weeks, much better like that.

here is the remedy, go to an empty parking lot , turn the TCS off, and burn rubber till dawn, it helped with my toyos,

hell yea... burn rubber till you cant see infront of you and you know you'll be good, lol... just spin them for a little bit and you should be fine

Thanks Guys! And BTW, they are General Exclaim's not Extremes, my bad.

They are actually very good tires for my cheap *** self. They got high reviews on tirerack.com, and at $130 a piece, I couldn't resist

Off I go to try burning out

The car you purchased is a fine turn machine don't put cheap or under rated tires on it. This car is known for it's incredible handling performance don't compromise it's integrity you might loose it in a corner.......

Thanks for the tips Vin, but these are good tires. Z-rated, and grip better than the OE tires.
