And when you finally work out that the only way to solve the problem you are now experiencing with your vehicle is to run the right tyre sizes, the you might think back on this thread and remember what a prat you were

But then again, I might NOT. Your snarky Brit humor is easily confused with arrogance. Perhaps this is not your intention, but the written word lacks tone and inflection.

Well some AWD systems can be very picky (X-drive being one of them), and 2% is a pretty good difference. I think we can deduce the answer from this thread alone really. You said it works fine on your 18's, so unless you busted a sensor or something while swapping them out, it's likely the difference in rolling diameter. Your pre-x-drive X5 was probably fine because the tcase was rather primitive compared to the newer X-drive unit.

So, you have no source for your original post information? Just a SWAG?

Brit humour?

Wow dude, your understanding of geography is as lacking as your understanding of tyre sizes and their implications for vehicle system behaviour.

I am from Australia. Kind of the other side of the world from Britain.

But settled as a Brit Penal Colony.

Actually no - settled around 50,000 years ago by people who migrated down a land bridge from Asia.

More recently, yes, most certainly settled as a British penal colony. Something that many of us "First Fleeters" (those who can trace our anglo history to the first colonising fleet) are rather proud of, so your laughter is kinda lost on me. You may think its "ROFL" but I'm proud of my heritage so... meh.

Regardless, your "Brit humour" comment makes no sense at all. But then, based on what I have read from you so far, I guess I shouldn't expect too much.

It's fun though, engaging with people like you. Reminds me of how fortunate I am.

Have you digested any of the information I posted about the logic of the ESC system yet, or are you struggling with the big words?

Not struggling with the words...only the spelling.

Colour, neighbourhood, aluminium, tyres....to name a few....!

Yes, the spelling differences between UK and US English can be annoying

ants_oz,

It has been fun trading barbs with ya, but it is getting late here. Good day to ya!

Cheers mate.

I urge you to trust the advice I have given though - the core problem can be traced back to rotational circumference differences.

Research it further, get more advice. But don't risk your transfer case - it's working harder than it needs to at the moment.
