Traction Control Engaging more oftern After tires replaced
 
The dealer replaced 2 front tires (the dealer had damaged the tires/rims (20 inch Michelin Lat Tour Pro's) and had to replace them) and performed an alignment. Now, when I go on turns at highway speeds (not crazy turns, just mild turns), the Traction Control (triangle) engages (light flashes) a lot more often than I recall previous to this repair. When driving straight, the light doesn't come on.

Is this normal? As the tires wear in/break in, does it go away on its own?

Thanks,

Yamil

check your tyre pressures.

That's not normal. Your traction control should not engage unless there is snow, ice or extreme wetness. Sometimes the tires may need to scuff a bit before max traction.

There is a short break-in periods for your tires...there is some left over lubricant coating the tires...Tire Tech Information - Breaking In Your Tires

First of all, I hope you reinitialised the Flat Tire Monitor. And more importantly, there is a break-in period for tires. For the first 500mi (800km) I'd take it easy.
