Default 2013 JKR brakes locking up when turning left or right no codes

All,

Developed an oddity today, took my 35 STT Pro's off and reinstalled my stock rubi tires and wheels used my procomp to reset to original. When backing out of the shop I noticed the brakes grabbing on a turn. In high range just idling in drive turn the wheel left or right and the Jeep applies the brakes and stops the Jeep. It does this going forward, backward, with or without the ABS and Traction Control fuse in place, in high or low range. No codes are displayed. I checked my steering wheel center and it is centered by the runtime option on procomp. Very hard to turn the Jeep around.

Has anyone else had this issue? Jeep was fine on Friday with the STT Pros on.

When I first got my 35 stt pros on my girlfriend said that when turning at a higher speed the ABS would start engaging. I tried it and noticed it also. So I reinstalled the tune for the 35s and haven't had that problem since.

Do you feel the brake locking up or physically hear the abs pump/ traction control running.

Did you program for the new tire size? Maybe the computer is confused.

From his first sentence: "...took my 35 STT Pro's off and reinstalled my stock rubi tires and wheels used my procomp to reset to original."

I have an AEV programmer, you measure your tires to get the true size then set some dip switches, then plug it in to the obd2 port and turn on the key. Very easy.

Maybe it's trying to apply BLD (Brake Lock Differential) because of erroneous indication that a wheel is not turning on an axle??? Maybe a wheel sensor bad, or attached wire damaged???
