I took my car to Discount Tire to get new tires Saturday morning. They installed a couple of 275/40R17 Kumhos. Drove the car home with no trouble. Left the house later that afternoon. When I hit 60 MPH (in 5th gear) the traction control came on. The light lit up in the dash and the car had no power. I pressed the clutch in and after a few seconds it turned off. Engaged the clutch and pressed on the accelerator (not hard, still in 5th gear) and it came on again.
At the next light everything was hunkey dorey until exactly 60 MPH when the same thing happened. I can turn off the traction control and the car drives fine.
It seems like an awfully big coincidence that some monkeys put new tires on the car and suddenly the TC is goofy. Can anybody give some insight into what I should be looking for here? Has anybody experienced this before?
