    Hi guys,
    I was wondering if I could get some input as to what maybe happening. So I bought some aftermarket wheels 17x9 (BS 4.75", OS -6mm) with General Grabber AT2 265/70/17. Manufacturer website and America tires assured me that it should fit on my stock suspension with no issue.

    Well as I was driving to work on a mountainous road, I came a long a curve and my truck made noise in the front that sounds like a flat and some beeping sound came on but then immediately went off and sound was gone too. I don't know if it was the TPMS or VSC bc I really didn't see any flashing light on my dashboard. Has anyone experience this?

    The road I drive is very windy and hilly road and I make a conscious attempt to decelerate at these turns. Well it happened again on the way home to work with beeping sound and felt like flat in the front tires, I pulled over and there was no flat.

    Also I check to see if the inside tires was rubbing on the UCA, but it show no sign of wear. I also did some plastic triming on the wheel well to prevent any potential rubbing.

    Thanks in advace. I will trying to post some pics

    Maybe ABS is a little loose?

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    In pic #2 is your Meat Curtain properly secured?

    Yeah I checked the inside wheel well to see if the flaps are loose, it appear secure. Since the wheel and tires install was done in a town 3hrs away, I will see what they have to say about it. Man this stinks, I was hoping to get my lift soon too

    My guess is that it is ABS related too. Possibly due to a calibration issue with the larger tire diameter.

    This is your VSC kicking in. Go to your local dealer and have them perform a zero point calibration. Since your steering angles and wheel speeds are now different, cornering at speed will cause the VSC to kick in when it's really not needed.

    Just ask them to perform a zero point calibration. The advisor should know what you're talking about. If not. Talk to a different advisor, the manager, or a technician.
