New tyres = over sensitive ESP?

[AdrianR]

Just replaced the rear tyres on my Golf MkIV, and now the ESP cuts in in places it didn't before. Reading around seems to be because the front tyres are due for replacement shortly and the difference in diameters F-R is out of spec.

Is this true? Is it not smart enough to work out what "normal" wheel speeds are in a straight line and then calibrate accordingly?

Update - seemed a bit better last night.... maybe it is learning?

Perhaps your new tyres not scrubbed in and therefore gripping as much?

Getting frisky with the new tyres??
