What is the 1st code? Cannot see it but your transmission is slipping. Tires cannot effect the speed between the axle and the driveshaft. Drag tires could cause an ESP/ABS fault due to front and rear tire slip rate.

my car even with weistec tcu you would have to clear code before racing with drag tires but this tcu tune now as soon as I put the tires on it went into limp mode hope to get it sorted or it will just be a car for street

I had two different diameters on it and it went into limp mode (abs/esp off) with no speedo after about a mile at highway speeds. ABS intervention under light braking too. Was not fun

yes only with drag tires the only thing I could think of is with the 306 gears made the wheel speed ramps up quicker but all jerry did was lower my shift points so it would shift better. it was fine before I would just clear codes to be safe before I ran in staging lanes. now even during the burnout it can go limp. maybe I should take it to the track and clear it with star before a run instead of my dashdaq

Same here. I've been driving the vehicle with the tires hoping the vehicle will adapt. It's kinda weird.........because it is adapting? Esp light not longer flashes when normal breaking. In fact, no more Esp or transmission codes with a few hundred miles of highway driving and multiple resets.

https://mkultra-electronics.company.site/ trans shifting problems solved this man can even change tire size in tune if you give mm of tire height.
