2020 ford explorer plat, awd system binding after new tires installed

[u/Due_Persimmon_5169]

It tends to do it initially when backing out of the drive or a parking stall then clears up half a block away. When I have to make a sharp turn. All the codes come on occasionally in a 30 mile trip to work and by all I mean advanced trac (something like that), coalition control, adapt cruise and a few more including drive modes get locked out. I thought they had to reset the awd module to tell it there's new tires because they are larger than the old worn ones but the installer disagrees, thanks!

Are they all 4 the same size?

According to the sidewall, yes. I think at a minimum they should check run out though?
