jasol Member 571 Member For: 15y 2m 26d Location: adelaide Posted 07/04/14 10:38 PM Share Posted 07/04/14 10:38 PM Hi all. Got a puncher the other day the tyre shop put a new tyre on. I already had new tyres all round but it's a differant brand. Now the stability light comes on a lot easier. I don't drive my car to hard so I never really noticed it coming on but now it does it a lot. Will fitting another of the same tyre as the new one to the rear solve this issue?

I would check its on tight and at the correct pressure. If so then changing to the same as the other 3 should return the car to how it drove before.

Ralph is correct the mould release compound needs to come off and the tyre ran through a few heat cycles. It may come good.
