Driving with abs and ets on
Hi, i recently had a tyre blowout, so i got the tyre shop to fit some 245/45/18 tyres that i got really cheap but now when driving over around 80kmph the abs and ets sensors go off and will light up, are there any risk of damaging the car driving with these lights on? other than not having the abs and ets active?

Unfortunately it is christmas and i have no money to replace these tyres at the moment..So putting a good set of tyres on the car in the present is out of the question. All i was after was an answer as to whether or not it would damage the car driving with the ets and abs lighting up. Sorry if that was blunt, but it is the truth

If all the tyres are the same size...diameter, then no fault lights should show.
However, if you really have put different size tyres on...no damage will be done...but why did you do such a thing in the first place???

To be honest it does look a bit funny...but i cannot afford to replace the two tyres right now, so it will haveto do, i was just wondering if it would damage the car thats all. Obviously when i can replace them i will be replacing them with the right size tyres
