33's with no lift, ESP activating
Put 33" tires on last week (No lift yet) and it has been running fine in the city. I took it to the mountains a couple of days ago and the ESP kept activating on the curving roads. Must have activated 7-8 times. The first time it scared the crap outa me and my daughter.
I've taken it to the mountains a few times before the 33's went on and it never activated. I've read on here where guys with a lift have had ESP issues but havent seen anything about it happening with just an upsize in tires.
Anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions other than slowing down on the curves, which did help.

i'm sure there's more you should do, but i'm not one of the mechanical gurus around here. i just mentioned the basics

You know what, mine activated without any modifications at all on a Rubicon model. I wasn't going into the corner too hard at all (about a normal or below normal speed) and the thing started pulsating and whatever else....

getting it flashed just means getting your internal computer's software upgraded. also, my JK was build just a month ago and i've seen this happen. it doesn't cost them anything to do it, just ask persistently/firmly/nicely.

What exactly do you guys mean pulsating? do you mean that the brakes kick in abruptly to correct the oversteer?

The Jeep feels as if it is trying to slow you down through a corner. I assume the sensors feel the body roll, and if it's too excessive, the brake assist will kick in.
