Traction light flashing at speed when corning

[edgie]

does any one have this problem on 19s? I never had this prob on 17s, as soon as I put the 19 tigerclaws on over 70 when corning, not majorly my traction light is coming on but im not sliding! Any ideas?

The traction light is coming on to let you know it is stopping you from sliding ... the car is sensing you are or are as good as slipping, and prevents it from sliding as best as possible. If you've got to 19s, are your tyres as good as on the 17s? Also - the 17s will have a bigger side wall, soaking up some lateral energy before they break traction. The 19s don't have as much "give" in the walls.

Catching in the wheel arch enough to slow one wheel down? Mine did that with bigger rear tyres

I guess ... but at over 70 round a corner there is a fair chance you are bobbing about and genuinely losing traction surely.

Shouldn't be. Downforce will push you more into the road so shouldn't lose traction. The car will hunker down and catch the arch liner.
I could chuck my car round a corner and make it do it. Tyre would catch and slow the wheel down causing the Tc to fire

No catching in arch and tyres new so no sliding around! Its a strange one, the 19s throw the car around a bit more than the 17s, seems to be a little more unstable

What tyres have you gone for? And what did you have on the 17's?

If it's new tyres, that will explain it. My last set of new tyres took around 500+ miles to scrub in properly. Far too much release agent on the tyre....

Downforce. Really?

What body kit are you running? Must have a massive rear wing. Something like I had on my Supra maybe?
