You messed with centimetres and inches, i'm not sure your calculation is correct.

Anyway, i think your tire size is causing the problem.

UPDATE

Swapped the rear tires for a set of 315 35 20 from a friends 2012 ( I WANT TURBOS!!!). Went for a drive....same problem. Having eliminated tire size as the culprit, again I am led to believe the cause is elsewhere. All is well until accelerating on a curve or whipping out to pass. Seems to be related to lean angle.

I get no codes, just the annoying yellow light.

I'm sure if you change the 20 inches rims diameter to centimeter diameter, the result will still be the same.

From Discount Tire web site;

275 40 20 is 90.04
295 40 20 is 92.02

92.02/90.04 is STILL 1.02199

Rounds to 2.2%

Tire size calculator

It's 2.2%. Upallnight's math is off somewhere.
