285/35-18 = 25.01" effective diameter;
275/35-18 = 24.81" effective diameter;
So, the rear tires are 0.8% larger diameter than the front. This is close to the 1.0 to 1.5% that is known to create problems, and could be enough for the ABS to disable itself.
Is the ABS lamp on? Does it prove out (come on for a few seconds) when you first turn the key on?

Yup, it would make it a whole lot better... I run Falken RT-615s:
With a treadwear rating of 200 they stick like "it" to a blanket--don't last very long, but they stick...

I wanted to see what traction contorl does as it's so fast it's hard to see.. @ 3000-3500rpm it retarded the engine as i could hear what sounded like spark knock.. it releashed @ 4000rpm and kicked back in @ 6500 rpm when it changed to 2nd.. my speedo is 10mph to fast.

I noticed yesterday that the word "off" was lit up on my TC button. I pressed it and nothing happened. It is still on. I don't notice anything different when driving. Is this something I need to address? I found nothing regarding this in my Haynes manual, not that that means much.
