    Has anyone else had this problem...I have a 2011 PreRunner Doublecab Longbed SR5. It came with the factory 16" alloys. I purchased from a guy locally, a set of new TRD Sport 17" alloy take-offs. I put new Toyota TPMS sensors in the set and re-mounted and balanced them. I drive a rather windy road home from work each day. I find with the new wheels that going through certain slightly bumpy right hand corners, my traction control would kick in and start applying the brakes and all of those fun things that go along with the traction control. Also, if I were to come out of a driveway, slowly, and my right rear tire would drop off the curb because of the angle I would have to turn, this would set off the Traction control also just for a half of a second.
    Yesterday, I put my factory set of tires and wheels back on, and problem gone. I am perplexed as to why I would have the problem with a set of factory Sport wheels.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the input. Have either of you done the VSC reset? Looks pretty simple. The stock tire is a 245-75-16, 30.5". Sport tires 265-65-17, 30.4". Essentially the same height.
