so, i checked the tire pressure today and they were all different

i just deflated them all to 32 psi

this seem to have helped a bit...i no longer swerve to the right and turning seems less sensitive, but i continue to have the traction warning light come on when taking turns

i even tested out a simple 90 degree turn at like 25-30 mph (no brakes) and the light comes on...

perhaps this is still because of the break-in period?

 

you do have mis-matched tires...

so it may just be like this...period.

 

did you test the tire pressure when cold?

 

no, it was actually like 90 degrees when I tested the tire pressure.

I'll try again tomorrow morning in my garage before I leave for work.

 

no no no.

cold, meaning cold tires. not the weather.

meaning, the car wasn't driven for a few hours when the tire pressure was tested.

 

i actually forgot to check my tire pressure today, however the issue seems to be getting better.

i made a few hard turns yesterday on the way home and the warning light did not turn on.

hopefully, this was all due to over inflation of the tires and break-in period.

i have driven about 300 miles since i first posted.

thanks for all the great tips/advices!

 

You swapped your max performance summer rear tires for lower-performance all-seasons. They aren't going to give as much grip (except in ice/snow/cold).

 

damn, that sucks...haha

which tires would you recommend then...for next time

 

Depends on your needs and how you use the car, what you want out of the tire, etc.

FWIW, if you keep fun tires on the car (even not so fun tires in my case at first), you're going to run though them. I went through three sets of front tires and four sets of tires in the first year (on the stock alignment, before I lowered it) -

 

I'd imagine that is where your issue is coming from. Just get the alignment and break the rears in.
