Just put on a pair Dunlop SP Maxx in the rear in stock size, now VDC is kicking in when I take the turn agressively.

Could it be the new tires are lighter than the PS (50% tread left) I have in the front? Or does VDC just need time to adopt to the new tires?

Did anyone else experience this problem after putting on new tires in stock sizes?

 

Yes, there was another thread here recently by someone with the exact same problems. He replaced the rears without changing the fronts. Once he swapped out the other old tires, the problems went away.

same thing happened to me. i replaced the rear tires w/out replacing the front. after a few hundred miles the car was back to normal.

 

New tires are slippery. If you are turning aggressively, the tires are slipping. VDC is working like it is supposed to.

 

Thanks. Now I can sleep better.
