Doubt if tire size will be the problem
more like bad wheel sensors and wiring
the traction control use the same sensors as the ABS

My son has this same car with the same problem. So far after tune up and other process of illimination, the problem points to the catalytic converter. If it is clogged you will get this problem with the rough idle and stalling. Look under the car at night after running it and see if the catalytic glows red. If so you need a new one. Hope this helps.

Check the bolts on your fuel pump, make sure they're tight. Might also check ALL of the rubber pieces in your fuel line( and there are quite a few) for cracks.

It sounds like it may be time for a new fuel filter, try replacing the fuel filter first. The filter has a life of 30,000 miles or one year, if it has not been changed, good chance that it's the fuel filter. Take not that a dirty fuel filter will make your fuel pump run hotter and will shorten the life of the fuel pump which is the more costly repair of the two. Good luck and keep me posted, Be glad to help you get your car running 100% again.

Traction control and theft lock

The traction control light in these years is usually a bad wheel speed sensor built into the wheel bearing. Cost around $600. The audio may be as simple as entering the unlock code. The deceleration could be a hundred different things so you'll have to pay to get that diagnosed.

well while putting the car on the lift, traction control does not need to be disabled, and will not cause the abs/traction light to illuminate, these cars are known to have terrible wheel speed sensors that are brittle and tend to brake or malfunction for no apperent reason, and the wheel speed sensors are what control your abs and traction conrol units and they are normally what make the light come on on your dash, the warranty on the sensors was prolonged for that reason, so depending on the mileage of your car they might be covered, hope this helps

What is the T/C button for in the glove box of a 2003 CTS cadillac?

This button is for the traction control, when you push it it will say trac off or trac on . this will be displayed on the dash, this is for better traction on snow or wet roads and it keeps the wheels from spinning out,hope this helps, look in your manual under traction control, good luck.
