Losing grip or DSC fault?

Hello all!

Since having new rear tyres fitted, I've had an issue with traction... going round some bends around > 40mph (definitely not asking too much), the traction control kicks in and jabs the brakes. Before having the rear tyres fitted I'd rarely been acquainted with the traction control (only in the wet...) and never had it brake the front wheels. I guess this would mean the front wheels are losing grip? Or could it be rear too? Or just a fault with the DSC?

Disable the DSC and it goes round the corner without problems as far as I can tell...

New front tyres fitted June 2015 and they still look good to me. The rear tyres were fitted Feb 2016. All Michelin pilot sports.

I also had a Bilstein B12 kit fitted June 2015 (slightly lowered damper & spring set), and since then had no problems with grip at all. It's only been since the new rear tyres... anyone have any ideas?

It's a 2000 3.0.

Many thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam
I'm experiencing the same issues as you especially turning left.
My 3.0 also has a Bilstein B12 kit.
Only real difference is I have recently fitted two new front tyres, my steering wheel is also ever so slightly off centre to the right.

Interesting... seems like the combination of new tyres and stiffer suspension result in a set up outside the tolerances that the T/C works to... Our only hope is it gets better as the tyres wear!
