So here is the situation. Last night I got a flat tire, and its not repairable. No problem right? I order a pair of tires. I have a extra set of rims and the old stock tires, I get them mounted and put them on the car. Go out for a drive and when I try to accelerate at all, the slip light comes on. I can't even gradually accelerate. Everything works fun whenever I turn off VDC, but I'm going on a trip this weekend and I wanted to take a fun car. Please help, I don't know what is wrong.
Im rocking stock Potenza's on mine (235/50r17), their ok but you have to special order them because no one stock's em....I just found that out when I blew a rear a week back But i got her back today!!
use a jack and jackstands if you don't have a lift. and make sure to torque the lugs the proper amount. tho if you have to ask that...it might be good to get some help :-)
^^^ those are the tires that came with the stock rims, I'm guessing the previous owner didn't buy smaller tires, idk.
ok, I'll switch them this afternoon, but now when I'm driving (VDC off) the ABS and Brake lights come on, WTF? my car is going crazy!
That is because they sense the tires/wheels are off. My G35 did it on the dyno. You need to get the right size tires on the car. Even if you just move them to the front the car will still freak out because the tires are too far off from each other.
