So I recently sold my summer rims and tires and put the stock rims back on my coupe after purchasing brand new all season tires for it 225/45R18 and 245/45R18. After I had the tires changed, when I come to a stop at about 20km/h or less my abs starts kicking in... EVERY TIME i come to a stop sign or light.

Has anyone has this occur before? My summer rims and tires were in spec so this is really strange. Do I need to get my abs reset? If so how do I accomplish this?

 

I tried the battery reset and pulled my fuse. Still a problem. Will clean mag strip. Anyone have any other solutions?

 

which tyres did you get?

 

Just some all seasons, 225/45R18 and 245/45R18.

 

what brand, though?

I had a similar experience when I had a crappy set of tyres. thats what I am asking.

 

Ohh I think they are some brand of good year... but ya they werent overly expensive. How did you fix the problem?

 

bought me a new set of tyres. :\

 

the ABS sensor may not have been properly attached. have them check it

 

What light is coming on? The VDC? Slip? Which one?

 

No lights are coming on. Just the ABS activates when slowing to low speeds. I took it apart last night the clean the sensor and mag strip and it didnt help... I guess i have to take it to the dealership. FML.

 

Did you buy the same size just a better brand?

I called the tire shop and they will exchange them they said so I guess Ill pay the different on the new set.

 

I do know that the VDC is very sensitive on our cars when changing tires. Mine would activate the brakes when I changed my rear tires and making sharp turns on ramps. Usually replacing all the tires at the same time with the proper sizing will eliminate any issues, although our cars can react to any new changes.

 

I had that issue last month when I got new 275's on my 19s, the one side activating on an on-ramp. What I dont understand is how its having an issue when I went back to stock specs. I am going in at 330 to the dealership to get an ECU Reset, maybe erasing the driver's settings will correct the problem.

 

I have seen that even with the correct sizing of tires, the VDC can act up. I know that it is not always favorable to all brands of tires. I had General Exclaim UHPs that I had to return to tirerack due to it's constant triggering of my VDC in even slight turns. The sizing was correct but the rears were newer than the fronts. I do know that the tread depth should be close to equal in all 4 tires as well as sizing. Unfortuantetly, our cars do not wear out tires in sets of 4.

 

Hmm, whats the stock preferred tire...Bridgestone?
