Brakes acting weird after tires replaced
Hi everyone...my brakes feel like theres a spring under the pedal,like when the ABS is triggered.I also now have ESP/BAS/AIRMATIC WARNINGS.I replaced front driver tire due to flat.I also didnt realize the flat immediately only thought it was low.and drove a a couple miles on it.the 22" rims and tire drove fine i parked it then noticed the flat.I got a new tire put wheel bk on and drove bk to the shop for the other front tire i purchased.It seemed fine until i left after replacing the second tire.It feels like the ABS is activating very early.Any help would be very appreciated.Thank you

im gonna guess and say mercedes did not do the tire repair? what year and make of car are we talking about? Im trying to figure out what could be wrong with it , by changing a tire? 22'' rims , i dont know , this may have something to do with it? not much help -sorry- here's a free bump back to the top. im gonna watch this thread with you , im curious as hell what might be the problem.

By driving on 22" inch rims with a flat might have caused some damage to the wheel that is not detected by just looking at it. Remember with wheels that large you basically have rubber bands for tires, there is not much protection for the road surface. Did the wheel and new tire balance properly after you replaced it?

sounds like the wheel speed sensor on the wheel, take it of clen it and make sure its pluged in at the top of the wheel arch, theres 2 wires that plug in to 1, .
