Weird ABS/Traction Control issue
Hello, Forum
So for the past few days after I got new rear tires, my traction control has been kicking on locking the front passenger tire. It occurs on a quick left handed turn I take every day between 45-55 mph. The front passenger tire locks up. This has never happened before and only started to happen after the install of my new rear tires. I checked with the folks who installed them and they reported seeing nothing out of the ordinary and they didn't even touch the front of the car.
Where can I start as far as diagnosis? This problem only occurs on the passenger front. I tried recreating the event with a somewhat dangerous wide fast right handed turn and all that happened was the traction control light blinked. There was no actual kick in of the ABS system which is what I'm assuming is the vehicles main mechanism for its traction control. The rear tires still act the same as far as when they slip, traction kicks in and the light flashes like normal.
Also the life left on the front tires is still very good. About 21,000 miles on them.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Best,
Banshee

Yes staggered. How can I inspect a speed sensor? I suspect this may be the issue. It's just so coincidental with the time of getting new rears.
