Default Help.. 3 dash lights on after putting on 37s

I recently swapped my 35s for 37s. First time driving with them on about 20 mins into the ride, the esp light starts coming on and the jeep starts skidding a little bit. I turned off the esp and this didn't happen again. But now, I have my abs light, esp bas light, and traction control light on all the time. I havent tried to drive it with the esp on after the first night.

I checked other threads and most of them talk about a wheel sensor wire... I checked mine and they all seem good. Im guessing the jeep thought I was sliding with the oversize tires. Any way to get these lights to go off? I have a superchips flashpaq and put in my tire size for the speedometer calibration, but im not sure if there is another function I missed on the tuner to fix it.

BTW,, toyos are awesome in the snow but some heavy ass tires.....

Have you did a recent alignment? Is your steering wheel centered? If not center it up and drive it around for a bit the lights will go off

Did it do it while cornering, or were you slipping due to bad roads? Make sure your steering wheel is centered, and make sure the esp wires have plenty of play, and aren't binding.

Didn't mess with the steering wheel... I wasn't sure if throwing bigger tires on would make it off center. I have seen the writeup on here about centering the steering wheel, is that the same thing as an alignment?

When the esp kicked in I was going straight down a dry paved road.

This actually reminds me of another thread I meant to start. A few weeks back I went to an auto shop to have them give me an alignment and they said something about my tie rod being seized up and that they were either unable to do it or if they did an alignment I would have to get another one once I get a new tie rod.

Thanks for the help
