ABS, EBR, ESP LIGHT???

Hey guys I recently had my dear tires changed and after the second time driving it with the new tired I am getting a ABS, EBR, ESP malfunction on the dash. My immediate thought is the VSS but being that I just got new tires I was wondering if that had something to do with it???

Those lights come on when you lose traction for too long. I got them in the snow once and was spinning in place. Should go away after you turn the car off for a bit.

How long is a bit? I drive it everyday about 10minutes or so each time and my car stays off for 12+ hours. Also is the steering supposed to feel stiffer?

Okay here's the scoop let me know if you have any ideas. I got my tires changed, and did a burnout by stepping on the gas and the brake at the same time. The car ran and drove fine after that, it wasn't until the next day that this issue started happening. I can take it apart tomorrow and take a look I am just not sure what to look for

I am perhaps casting my brain back in time too far but in some of my earlier cars there would be issues with ABS and ESP lights coming on after some front end work.
As I recall one way to get things back in line was to start the car and turn the wheel all the way left, then all the way right to the stops and then repeat.
Don't know if this applies here but...?
