Help! New front tires - now getting Transaction On issues

[Sportsmiss]

I just replaced the front tires on my C5 - now, when I get to 60 mph, my traction comes on and won't let the car accelerate.... suggestions??

I'm kinda gonna guess that "transaction" is "traction control".

Typically, with C5, if you change the relationship in front to rear tires size beyond a certain point, you'll get erroneous traction control operation.

What is the size of the front tires you installed?

Transaction

Tires are same size P245/45ZR17 as what was on before just a different brand.

Sorry, typing too fast - you're right it's the Traction Control issue... the car had 17's on the front and has 18's on the rear. We kept the same size 17's just switched from Goodyear to Michellin brand tires...

Traction Control

According to the tire dealer that installed the front tires - this will "work itself out & re-callibrate"... is this true???

Ah, I doubt it. Maybe they bumped a wire / sensor when installing the new tires.
