Maybe the Tyre fitters have dislodged/moved one of the wheel sensors which is playing havoc with the systems. 2006 4.2 S/C with Tow Pack, Side Steps, DRL's, 19" & 20" wheels, additional 110 ltr Fuel Tank Roof Rack and performance mods.

The symptoms point to the traction control / DSC kicking in which suggests a wheel speed error. Could be a steering wheel calibration but as the wheels have been removed and replaced, suspect the wheel speed sensors. An error code check would be useful too. Thumbs Up 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Also there was a post the other day about the differing size of tyres, even thou the tyres might say the right size the different manufacturers have different sizes thus throwing the system into a fit.

33 fronts and 36 rear. As well as the above might be worth getting the rear sus bushes checked out as you can get this fault when there is a lot of play in the inner upper bush. 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

check the tyres sizes match front to rear.

If the others are very worn it's probably worth getting them changed too before wasting money on other things

Definitely worth getting the wheel alignment checked. On my last RRS the traction control would kick in on roundabouts and twisty roads. Was exaggerated when I had new tyres. Alignment fixed the issue and massively improved the handling. MY12 RRS HSE
