I just had my 35's installed on the factory rims and now my ESP comes on when I turn at average-to-high speeds??

So I took my jk to a shop who's done some good work for me before and had them mount and balance my 315/70/r17 on my factory moabs, they also installed the 1.5" spidertrax spacers I got from northridge (thanks Dave!). They've been on for about 3 days now and i noticed a couple times on my way to work my ESP triggers and starts trying to correct the wheels while I turn? on dry pavement? I also installed 2' BDS coil spacers 2 weeks ago and have had no probs until i put the new tires on. I have an appointment this weekend to get an alignment done as I've read it is a good thing to get done after a lift.

Any help you guys could be would be great as I have no idea why my ESP comes on?

Recenter your steering wheel.

there is a procedure to turn it off completely. dodge has noticed the TCS has alot harder time deciding what to do on a lifted jeep. might have to do with the bigger tires causing more of a wheel speed difference wich translates to the computer "holy fuck the jeep is slidding out of control, put on the brakes"

check out the write up on how to recenter it. 99.9% of the time, that is the issue.

Steering wheel for sure I lifted my JK about two months ago with the 3.5" RE and centered it then. It got a little off again during the month and I re adjusted this week and it's golden. Make sure to really tighten down the bolts so it does not move. Check everytime you wheel

I recentered my steering wheel... still triggered ESP on many turns. Had it aligned and it has not done it since.
