But the M/T tires are a different type of tread than your previous tires, and they will break traction a bit easier. I'm betting the issue is a combination of a bit taller tire (so you have a tiny bit higher center of gravity), and the tires that break traction a bit easier.
good point!

the ABS light and ESP light are tied together. I would have it checked at the dealer like the previous poster suggested.
If a wheel speed sensor is'nt working properly it'll make them both go off. How does it react on other curves?
The reason I'm asking. I don't have issues with mine with the exception with one on ramp in Boardman, it kicks on every time.
If the dealer wont flash for 32's let me know,

I experienced this once before in another 07 I had for three weeks on an offramp when it was completely dry and I was not going fast. It was a basic JK that had 225/70/16 tires.
I'm thinking that maybe it just needs flashed at the dealer and that will (hopefully) solve the problem. I am going to give these M/T tires a chance on a trip up to Erie and see how I like them. So far I've only driven them less than 100 miles around town and on the highway. The majority of my driving is on-road in the city, so I'm going to have to see how practical these are going to be for my use. I was originally intending on just getting a set of BFG All-Terrain K/Os to replace my BFG Radial Long Trail T/As that I wasn't happy with, but a good deal on these came up (and the guy lived five blocks from me!) so I jumped on it.
Any thoughts?

yup, if they did not recenter the steering wheel properly, thats the problem.
I had mine aligned, and it was'nt right. I had to recenter it myself. If you need a hand, let me know. I'm about a mile from 4wd hardware.
