Brake warning light on with new wheels/tires
I got new 19" wheels and tires a few weeks ago.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that upon hard throttle acceleration my brake warning light would turn on. Then it would turn off by itself. Of course I didn't have the handbrake engaged and this occure regardless of if the TCS is on or off (I have an enthusiast model).
Now when this occurs the light stays on longer. Anyone else get this?
I'm going to have to stop by the dealership I think (I also have the infamous rear axle clicking).

i got the problem too recently...it only seems to happen when the temps go down and the pressure in the tires decrease leading to the tire to be a smaller diameter or maybe a flat spot...is my guess
i know my brake fluid is starting to get a little low but that doesn't explain the SLP and TCS light on

Regardless, I was running 275/40/18 front and rear with 18x9.5" wheels for over a year without this problem. The problem just popped up once I switched to my latest 19s...before the 18's I had 19" TE37's with the same tire widths i have now and I didn't have this problem.
