If you have 235s on the front and 245s on the rear your computer reads an error and will set off the light. Marauders have this built in the ABS system. All 4 tires need to be the same size if a car is equipped with traction control.

You have an ABS system designed for it.

I put monster truck tires on my lawn tractor and now I can only get my grass to cut 28" deep. What does that mean?

I don't know then. It happened to me again this morning. Maybe something to do with the tire sizes? I have the 245/45/18 on the rear and 235/50/18 on the front. Any ideas?

The ECU in your car is not calibrated for the tire stagger on a Marauder. You will either have to turn off the TC all the time or get 2 235/50/18s for the rear. You could go 245/55/18 all around, but those tires are crap and only last 12-15k miles on average. If the 245s are in good shape you'll have no problem selling them to someone here as they are not available and won't be until June at the earliest.
