HELP !! DSC?DTC Flashing after tire/wheel upgrade.

gary328xi · 11-29-2006, 10:17 PM

I upgraded my wheels to 225 /40 / 18 in the front and 265 / 35 /18 in the rear
When i try to step on the gas the car slows down and the DSC /DTC light flashes. The only way around this for me now is to deactivate the DSC /DTC.
Any input will be helpful.

Do you have summer rubber on those new wheels?

If so, and you're in new jersey in the winter, you're probably overdriving the tires, so DSC/DTC is coming on because you're actually sliding around.

or unextraordinary situation can happen because of false installation,the tyre handle very good and the rims moves inside a little bit,when the tyre holds the surface well.

as someone said it coul be installation. Are the tire directional and do they have marking on them that say inside/outside. If so check the tire and see what you find.

You may need to reset the rotation calibration for the xi system because the rears are bigger (rolling circumference) than OEM, so the balance front/rear is different now. Probably should have gotten 235s for the front to match the 265s in the rear.

Finally solved the problem by installing 255/35 in the rear.
