30 - 35 psi... your ESP is coming on? all you did was swap tires?

usually that is a sign of the steering being off center

rig looks great btw

Try 28 to 32 psi. Also with bigger tires you may need to check the toe. Look at your esp lines going to each brake. It is possible that the tire shop knocked one off or severed the wires.

easy fix, most likely the problem

If you’ve just installed a suspension lift on your Jeep JK Wrangler and without installing a new adjustable front track bar, your steering wheel will most likely be off a bit and it will need to be re-centered before you can safely drive it. Not centering your steering wheel will cause your ESP system to think you are in a slide and will try to compensate for it by activating your BAS. Depending on where you are when this happens, it can be an annoying experience to down right dangerous.
1. To re-center your steering wheel, use a 15mm socket or wrench to loosen the 2 nuts securing the turnbuckle in place on your Jeep JK Wrangler’s drag link as shown in the pic to the left.
2. Firmly grab the turnbuckle and then, rotate it clockwise or counter clockwise as needed while a friend watches the steering wheel (or you periodically check on it yourself) go back to center.
3. Once your Jeep JK Wrangler’s steering wheel looks centered, secure the nuts and take it for a drive to verify this. This may take a few tries to get it on 100% on but that’s all there really is to it.
