New tires and abs, slip, vdc, and brake lights are on.

I bought some new tires today and after leaving the place my abs, brake, vdc, and slip lights are on. This is the first time that this happens. How can I turn them off? I have a 2007 Infiniti g35 sedan.

Could be a few things wrong. The shop might have messed something up like an ABS sensor which would cause your issues. You might have bought the wrong sizes which would freak out the VDC system and triggered the lights. Your car might have a ghost that haunts you, who knows.

But my main concern is when you started to leave and noticed all the lights on, why did you just leave? You should have stayed there until the problem was diagnosed/fixed...............

Possibly they messed up the abs sensors. The wheels was hard to get off. I have 225/45/18 on the fronts and 235/50/18 on the back.

RWD or X model? Either way, you have the wrong tire sizes for your car. Mainly the rear tires are 5% taller in diameter than the front. These cars only allow for a 3% diameter difference on the RWD models, and 0% for AWD cars. In a nutshell, your car thinks the rear wheels are slipping and triggering the VDC. Since you keep driving, the car disables VDC and shows the lights.

The stock tires for an 07 w/ 18" wheels are 225/50/18 front & 245/45/18 rear (0.7% difference/stagger). Get the correct tire sizes installed, and report back in the morning.

Problem fixed! Since the tires had a 5% difference all I had to do was swap out the front two tires to a 225/50/18 instead of a 225/45/18. Now there's a 1.5% difference. All the lights went off.

So I don't run into the same problem, the RWD allows for up to 3% difference total right? The stock 19's are already like 2% difference in size which is fine but the system is calibrated with front/rear being the same size right? Not 3% from the already staggered stock size?

3% difference in diameter comparing the front and rear tires. Not 3% change from stock sizes. Don't over think this.
