2. Not a good idea to mix tires, this could be part of the issue.
x 1,000%I had a student with a 350Z who replaced just the rear tires on his car with a different brand of tire than what was on the front. The traction control got so confused with the difference in traction between the front and rear tires the system was on almost all the time and the car was virtually undrivable.
You need to have all 4-tires of the same brand and model.....

You even have traction control in an AP1.
Also don't have TPMS, which I happen to think is the worst f'ing advancement in technology ever...

Sounds like either a loss in traction, or the rear circumference is off and its confusing the TC sensors (the abs sensor reads the rotations).
...or did you mean between the left & right tires?
(and im not flaming or anything, really curious)
