Well, I swapped my summer Michelin Pilot Sport 4 for winter Nokian WR4, same size.
Today was a clear, sunny and very dry day, tarmac was perfectly dry and I noticed that under strong acceleration driving straight on highway, the ESP light flashed, the car did not accelerate and gearbox, in auto mode, upshift very fast also flooring the throttle. Sometimes I also hear some relais clearly clicking under the light knob.
Never happened something before neither with the first set of Conti tyres.
So I am wondering if these Nokian are supposed to have less grip in such conditions (to so big amount? Also with AWD kicking in?) or my Haldex is going to die. No strange noises btw...my feeling was that the rear wheels did not had traction...
EDIT: forget to add that the Nokian are brand new, less then 100 km on them...
