I have an 05 330i. I just changed out the stock tires which believe were 205's for some 245/40 17 rear and 225/45/17 front. I notced after getting the tires that if I take a turn a little aggressive, the car loses power and the anti skid control light starts flashing. Now honestly, the speed I am taking the turn isn't enough to cause a slide, I did it with the 205's on when they were BALD. Is this something that has to do with the car being programmed for a certain size tire?

Thanks guys for any help you can give me. And Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!!!
