was wondering if anyone here could help me with my problem.
since i bought my new alloy wheels the traction control is coming on excessively around corners that it did not normally come on with the old wheels but now for example im driving quite slow going round a bend and the traction control light will start flashing and apply the brakes quite heavy and slowing my car down when there is no need! is there a way i can turn the traction control off completely? i have tried turning the asr button on and off but it does nothing to help. my old wheels tires where 215/45/17 my new wheels are i think 205/35/17! i did not want the width to be changed from 215 to 205 only wanted the profile lower but the place i bought my alloys from sent me the wrong tyres on the alloys and would not change my wheels unless i payed for postage!
i bought the wheels from powellsgarage in cornwall which im sure a few other members on this forum have used before, i could not fault the garage on service but the problem is they sent me alloys with the wrong tyre width and wheels which should of been balanced were unbalanced as when i took them to the garage to get my tracking done they checked them and noticed this!
anyone shed some light on why my traction control is doing this? is it just plainly because of the new tyre width?
Thanks
