Check it out if the front tires are the same as the rear pair. If inflated correct, a 255/50 tire adds 127.5 mm high tire wall to the rim, the factory size 225/60 gives 135 mm, 7.5 mm more. 1/3 of an inch not much difference but visible.
Before you visit the shop for diagnosis, recharge your battery and see if the message pops back. If so the alternator may also be part of the game, but most likely you'll need a new battery.

I agree with Tusabes. If you have 18" wheels then the correct size is 245/45/18. If they are staggered (larger in back than in front) the the rear tires would be 275/40/18. I don't know about 19 or 20 inch.
Do you know how old the battery is? If it is too old the charging might be just a temporary fix. You might need to purchase a new battery.
