Default New Tires/ESP

I just installed new 285/75/16 tires with new wheels (4.5BS) and there are no rubbing issues to speak of but when making right hand turns on uneven pavement at higher speeds the ESP is coming on which had never happened until the installation of the tires/wheels.

Is this normal?

You'll need to have the TPMS sensors put in the new wheels.
Don't think that is it. If it was TPMS the alarm would go off as soon as he started the Jeep not just during turns.

Make sure your steering wheel is dead on center

Roger that... I will check it... I am really baffled as to what it could be.
