    So my '12 tacoma was having issues cornering with the 33' tires I'm running. On curvy canyon highways because of the over sized tires the traction control thought it was sensing slip in the corners and was activating. Causing an un safe and annoying lurch in sharp corners at highway speeds. I got in the habit of turning TRAC "off" (lowest setting, not actually off) everytime I got in the truck and this worked as long as I remembered to turn it off other wise I'd have to pull over, come to a stop, hold the trac button for ten seconds and get back on the way. Anyone else have this issue with over sized tires and traction controll?
    Last time I had the brakes done I had them not reset the TRAC or anti lock brake system, now no problem cornering amd I can spin tires in snow, gravel and mud and keep full power, but I dont have the safety of anti lock brakes or the help of traction control to get me out of a slippery situation ( no lockers yet)
    Any advice or opinions?

    Try resetting your VSC. Do a quick search resetting VSC the windows way way. if you did any suspension work or alignment is really off it can trigger it unexpectedly. My buddy had the same issue and that fixed it.
