If the diameters are severely skew it could cause this. Check your codes

Those radials are probably slightly bigger than your stock, and it makes it go ballistic. I know mine did.

The ratio from front to back needs to be around 4-5%. You're currently at 7.4%. For me, when I aired them down at the track, I got close enough to get rid of the issue.
