Hello MM.net members:
I have a 2004 Marauder with trac lock switch.
I recently replaced my stock front BFGs with Nitto Extreme 555 235/50R18.
Rears were on the vehicle when I purchased it 2 years ago are Riken Raptor zr 255/45R18.
Only issue I had before I replaced fronts was that I had to turn off trac lock by pushing button everytime I start car because above 35-40+ MPH trac lock would activate and be blinking inside gauge cluster, limiting my speed. I could live with this!
Now that I got new front tires on, I have another issue: If I'm going between 60-70 MPH, holding this speed constantly for 6-10 miles, my ABS/Brake/trac loc illuminate, stay on inside the dash until I turn off ignition and restart then these 3 lights will reset.
I scaned for codes and had "C1222" which is speed wheel mismatch. Also, at 60 MPH with scanner hooked up, it says that my speed is 5 MPH difference between the front and back tires.
Never threw this code with the old BFGs in front and 45 series RIKENs in the back. Note front BFGs tires had only 1/4 of tread left, 54000+ miles on them. :alone:
Is it possible that now that the front tires have 100% tread and my rears are 45 series instead of 55 series, thats the reason for the C1222 code? Different size in height with the rear tires (45 series vs. 55 series)
Do I have to replace my rear tires with BFGs since no other tire company makes 245/55R18 tires.
Can I go with bigger size rear tires but I guess I have to use 55 series tires?
I also tried to load a tune (SCT X cal 2) where I changed the revs per mile on the rear tires but it didn't work. Still same issue as above.
Does anyone elese have this problem? What would be the best solution to fix it? It really gets me aggrevated but I know that I can still drive the car only thing is no ABS when these 3 lights illuminate. :mad2:
Aloha and Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
