I have the ASC light flashing almost every single corner. No sliding or loss of control but the light flash very often. I checked the tires at the rear and they are fine, they have about 3,700miles on them. No mechanical failure the car is handles great (just did my first autcrossing and was suprised how good it is) but that little orange light keep flashing in a corners, unless I'm very slow. which happens only at morning when both of us sleepy (car and me)
anyway I think it is normal since I have this like 3-4 months ago and not worsen or got better. Maybe the different tire size (245/45x17 and 275/40x17) makes a computer a little more sensitive. When I had a 245/40 and 275/35 I hardly noticed the flashing light unless rain when they flash all the time, straight, corner, slow down, accelerating, etc.

so the OEM size is gives you much more all-weather confort. I used the original Michelin's and was suprised how quiet they were...
I like quiet tires but never really had one for long time... I always felt they were too small..
