So I have a 2007 4 door JK X Unlimited. Just put some new 33's on it & all of a sudden I'm having some troubles. When I make a sharp turn my traction light flashes & I can feel the back tires skidding. Someone please explain to me what is wrong?

Is your steering wheel off center when driving in a straight line.
|
Did you go to mud terrains?
|
It's your jeep activating the brakes, not skidding.
As mentioned, is the steering wheel straight? |
The steering wheel is straight, the tires r the same brand (Nitto All Terrain Terra Grapplers) just an inch taller & wider, & I don't think it's the brakes because they've never did that before
|
Did you go to a tire center that did a complimentary "alignment" :naw: when the tires were mounted? You steering wheel is juuust a shade out of center. It really is a simple drag link adjustment.
|
A little more info please. Do you have the limited slip rear diff and did you flash the computer to recognize the different size tires?
|
It's whatever stock is. And no we haven't got them to do that

Owners Manual:
Disabling ESP for Modified Vehicles (4WD Models Only) Vehicles modified with larger tires and/or suspension lifts may experience early ESP activations as compared to a non-modified production vehicle depending on lift size, tire size, suspension changes and/or driving habits. If early ESP activations are experienced while driving a modified vehicle, the additional ability to permanently turn off ESP is available. A steering wheel/ESP button maneuver must be performed to permanently disable ESP and defeat the functionality of the ESP switch. Repeating the procedure will return the system to normal ESP operation and restore ESP switch functionality allowing ESP “Partial” or “Off” modes. The following procedure will disable (or re-enable) ESP functionality in the vehicle: 1. Shift the transfer case into the 4H range position. 2. Turn the steering wheel until it is centered and the wheels are pointed straight ahead. 3. Cycle the ignition key OFF to ON. 4. Wait approximately five seconds for the system bulb check. 5. Turn and hold the steering wheel one-half turn to the right (clockwise). 6. Press and hold the ESP OFF button for seven seconds. 7. Turn the steering wheel back to center, and turn and hold an additional one-half turn to the left (counterclockwise). 8. Press and hold the ESP OFF button for seven seconds. 9. Turn the steering wheel back to center. 10. Press and hold the ESP OFF button for seven seconds. 11. Cycle the ignition key to OFF. After performing the ESP disable procedure correctly, “ESP OFF” will be displayed in the odometer for approximately 12 seconds each time the ignition is moved to ON. Repeating the ESP disable procedure will re-enable normal ESP operation. Note: The above is easier with engine running. As said earlier, steering wheel must be adjusted dead straight. Edit: I should add this from the owners manual: WARNING! With ESP in the permanent disable mode, enhanced vehicle stability offered by the ESP and ERM systems is unavailable. In an emergency evasive maneuver, the ESP and ERM systems will not engage to assist in maintaining stability. This disabled mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only. Vehicle modifications requiring the owner to configure the vehicle in the ESP disabled mode, will seriously affect the vehicle’s roadworthiness and safety and may lead to loss of control and/or accident resulting in possible serious or fatal injuries. |
