1. I have a 2005 buick rendezvous with only 48,000 miles on it. One month ago the service traction system light/ABS/tracking off lights kept coming on. I just bought brand new tires in may 2007 and approx one month later I heard a bad roaring noise coming from what I thought was the tires. I thought it was because they were brand new and would probably be somewhat noisy. Then the lights started coming on.
