Porky Posted Thursday at 08:49 AM Share Posted Thursday at 08:49 AM Hi all need some advice please. I have put 2 new uniroyal rainsport tyres on the rear. 225/45/18 the car now feels very unbalanced and i have the ESC light coming on going round corners at speed. I do have 2 new ones left i could put on the front to see if it cures the car. Is it because the tyre depth is different so it senses this ? Thankyou 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted Thursday at 03:07 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:07 PM Welcome Alan, and thanks for joining. Basics first:- Have you checked the tyres have been correctly fitted in relation to the direction of rotation? Have you checked the tyre pressures are set correctly? Kind regards, Gareth.

Porky Posted Thursday at 03:42 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 03:42 PM Hi Yes tyres fitted correctly and yep tyre pressures are correct. I think the car is sensing a difference in tyre height maybe ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted Thursday at 07:48 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:48 PM ‘….sensing a difference in tyre height…’. So have you fitted a different profile tyre on the back? Only then would there be a meaningful height difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porky Posted Friday at 01:07 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 01:07 AM Hello the profile is the same as in tyre size but there is a slight difference if you look at the makes of tyre. New uniroyals on the rear and old Bridgestone on front but going to change the fronts to same as rear and see what happens. Fingers crossed it will sort it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
