I had 215s on my 9.5's, and when anybody would drive my car he would go "WTF"
Another culprit could be toe, are you sure it's zeroed out?

I have felt that stretch grip reduction in my previous setup I was stretching all 4 tires but no matter what I did traction control wouldn't come on and when it did it was because it was a very very hard corner and it would just come up once and that's it.
Toe is 0 that's the first thing I checked, I remember a friend had some issues with stability and it turned out to be a toe issue so toe isn't an issue for me. Thanks SMS.

Pedal dance is great to isolate problems or drive your car with ABS on but without all the nannies. It will only reset the next time you crank the car.

So pedal dance is slightly different than holding the button for 3 seconds?

So your tires are different outer diameters, but not by much.
Your fronts are 18 inches (457 mm) + 2*(.40*225)= 637mm
Your rears are 18 inches (457mm) + 2*(.35*255)=635.5mm
I doubt that is your problem....

Still, I'll check on the tires and have them swapped to bigger tires then if the issue still remains, then my best guess would be the steering rack.

That's assuming they aren't stretched or otherwise out of standard spec. He says the rears are 11". The 255 is a 10" tire, so that's definitely stretched. Front is 9.5", but the front tires are 8.85", so those are stretched too. I'm leaning toward the tires not being a close enough diameter due to the stretch.
Another possibility is maybe the DTC/ABS cable is getting rubbed.

Hmmm, that helps a lot! let's see if it turns out to be the front tires today and I'll let you guys know.
Any idea where that cable is located?
Again, thank you all for the help!
