Default Hard cornering, active handling issue?

I had 275/35/18 and 305/30/19 Nitto Invos on my car.

I took those off and put on 275/40/17 Mich pilot sports and 305/35/18 DRs.

Now on hard cornering "Active Handling" comes up on the DIC. I'm guessing it is being activated more easily with this new tire size combination?

Any information about what's going on would be nice.. thanks.

This is just a wild guess....

Try disconnecting & reconnecting your sensor wires (wheel speed sensors) and/or check & clean the connections.

We had a similar issue while making slow tight turns.

Or yoru corning tighter then the computer allows.

If your cornering properly AH will not come on.

Do not corner too tight, Corvettes are designed to under steer slightly to keep the occupants safe.

If your going to do lots of tight cornering, get an aggressive alignment too help
