I have a 2000 Mustang GT Vert. All Stock except it has a newer style(08)
rims... (I don't care for them). Just added 275/35/17 tires on rear. Within
a few miles the beautiful traction control green light came on. The car will not accept gas. I slow the car down kicked it again....same thing.... I figured out it was the traction control after a couple times trying to speed up.... hit the traction control button,,,,,, no more issues..... Now I have to press the button everytime I get in the Stang.... Anyone know what I need to do????
Please help..... The little lady wants to drive it and she's now scared she will be sitting beside the road.

Thanks Stang Guys.

So im having the same problem, i have 255 40 18 in the front & 295 30 18 in the rear if switching to 295 35 18 make the problem disappear?

The outside diameter of your tires should be as close as possible in size.

255/40/18 = 26"
295/30/18 = 25"
295/35/18 = 26.1"

Sounds like 295/35/18 is the size you should go with out back

As im driving down the road it makes a sound like something is clogged up , like it was mention above i try to give it gas and it takes a while to go up the rpms , but this happens mainly during 5th gear
