ABS Light from aftermarket wheels tires???
So recently put in JIC Coilovers and did a track day. Car handled a lot better but was so stiff in the rear, it over steers like crazy. Given, my street tires are not great either. Also, obviously, had the dynamic rev limiter/limp mode issues that everyone has after 3-4 laps.
To add to this, afterwards, my ABS warning lights came on! They eventually went out, then kept re appearing when I turned sharply. Now, the light won't go out at all. I could not figure it out, so I ended up taking it in the my dealership. They said it is because I have custom wheels and tires and they are getting wheel speed sensor faults from all 4 corners. These wheels and tires have been on here for years! Does this make any sense to you guys???? What should I do? Anyone else have this problem before? Thank you!

Well lots of us run custom wheels/tires with no ABS issues, so I don't think that's it. More likely one of the ABS sensors got dirty or disconnected. I'd check them, and clean them up first.

I asked the dealer to check them and they refused until I got new tires. Are they easy to access myself?
