1995 BMW 740 cruise cintrol

Electrical problem
1995 BMW 740 V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 236930 miles

my cruise control works for about 10miles and then shuts down and doesnt work again til I restart the car. I have a friend whos' chevy malibu was doing the same thing after he put 20' rims on his car. after he removed them his cruise worked fine. When I brought my bmw it had 18" bmw rims and 245/45/18 tires, could this be the problem or is it a vaccum problem?
