DTC Activating

Has anyone had any issues with the DTC activating during cornering? I'm not going hard but it's like the car is detecting a skid and killing the power. Only thing I had done a few days ago was 2 rear tyres being replaced. Any thoughts??? TIA
 
36 at the rear, Uniroyal Rain Sport 3 and it’s not the tyres. This is a mechanical / electrical fault as the car isn’t skidding or stepping out at all. It believes it’s stepping out so activating the DTC.

Any sensible suggestions?
 
I had the dtc tripping today on cornering and straights, also slight hesitation, turned the dtc off and it seemed ok.
Nothing has been changed since I’ve owned the car, possibly an abs lead packing up.
Diagnostic plug in tomorrow.
 
Just a thought Re my situation, when I pulled away this morning the handbrake felt like it was on and a loud crack was heard.
 
Diagnostic done today, two significant codes were shown.

5E38 DSC sensor rotation rate plausibility
5D97 Control module power supply DSC sensor

I think this sensor is located under the carpet in front of the passenger seat (RHD)
Searching the net shows that replacement of this module will solve the problem, before that step I’ll investigate the sensor for any visible problems. Until then I’ll just switch off the DSC.
