Yes the tire size has everything to do with it that's why I asked what tire size you have? I have seen someone put an incorrect tire size on and have the light come on. What is your left front right front left rear right rear tire size please post the exact tire sizes you have?

I see the problem you have a smaller height tire in the front then the back.Which the computer will see as the front tires going a different speed then the back tires thinking your loosing traction and then the traction control will kick and so will the light.When that happens the computer will retard the timing etc causing a power loss.Also you have two different width tires in the rear.Youneed to to change all the tires to the correct stock tire size and go talk to the guy who just put the front tires on.Ask him why he put different height front tire on then the rear and tell him its causing your traction control to kick on.
