Those are OEM sizes so the diameters should be similar and won't be the cause of your issue. Tire Rack has tire specs listed on their website (including diameters).

Now before anyone says "the tires need to be broken in", there tires have well over 500 miles AND I can't even break them loose on hard corners stomping on the accelerator, so I'm very confident that they have plenty of grip.

From what I've read, it seems like the rear tires are probably bigger than the fronts, resulting in the car thinking the rotational speed between the front and rears are off, causing the DSC to kick in. Assuming that's the case, is there any way to reset the sensor associated with the DSC? My front's still have about 40% tread, so I don't really want to replace them.
did you solve the problem? im having the same issue...
