Just put a new set of tires on, and now when I floor it at 70ish my TC takes over.
I know these tires are not as grippy as the General tires from factory, but it never broke traction before the tire change.
When I turn off TC and Advanced trac, no issues.
Hard to tell if I am really braking traction or something is wrong somewhere?
I am on dry pavement, because I know it will do it on wet pavement no problem.
The General Grabber tires were hard to spin even on wet pavement.
Anyone have this issue?

Have you checked your tire pressure?

You're breaking them loose dude, look how fast it's jumping from 72 to 80+

Are you tuned? This seems like common sense...

"When I floor it the TC light comes on, when I disable TC it doesn't happen..."


You don't have to smoke the wheels to get the light. The sensor just has to detect some slip in the wheel and kick in to correct it. Here's a wild idea, STOP doing it.

Nice truck. Mud tires? As you said, your previous AT tires will have much better traction with typical road conditions except for mud.

72-80+ isn't that fast ...... Within that 2 seconds, TC takes over and cuts throttle.
Should be 72-90+ in that few seconds as it use to be.

Are you tuned? This seems like common sense...

Obviously....... And common sense would tell you that there is a heavy tune, unless you have never driven a stock Ranger

Stop doing it is like telling a fat kid to drop the doughnuts....


My 2019 5G had terrible traction, but never cut the throttle off that fast.... I always had time to let off before throttle cut off

You didn't answer if you had it tuned or not

My Nitto Trail Grapplers (285/70R17) will break loose if I throttle hard at 60 MPH. Yes, I have a tune.
