Hey Shady, maybe you can give me a tip or two.
I've noticed that my ABS doesnt kick on period. I've even tried to brake as hard as possible (like 70 down to zero full break dry conditions, no abs)
I've also noticed that since I've gotten my back tires changed out and rotated that when I've I'm making banked turns at moderate speeds the TCS kicks on on it feels the driver side is digging in or something. These are by no means turns at what I would call track speed either. TCS has never kicked on in those situations before.

As for the TCS issue, how many miles are on your new tires? were the tires warmed up prior to taking the turns? Also its a longshot, but if the tires are directional and have an outside inside the shop might have put the outside on the inside and reversed the rotation.
Just some thoughts, hope you get it figured out!

^ Hard braking 70-0 with no ABS your brakes would definitely lock up and pull to either side wet or dry if you try it again and they do lock up let off and use slow steady pressure to stop
As far as the TCS like shady said check the direction, also if it's shaking or shimmering at all when it happens check the weights to make sure they didn't knock any if not all of them off and check the suspension for any obvious damage

if the abs system was not working... you abs light would come on
the abs system in modern vehicles do full system checks every time you key to start, and then sends "check" signals at intervals while the vehicle in on, if at any point it doesn't get the signal back, it will sense a problem, disengage the system and illum the abs light

It's probably just shitty tires causing you to lose traction, causing the TCS to kick in. You have to break pretty damn hard for the ABS to kick in on our cars. At least on mine anyway.

Hey hoss you're working up at 1070? Would've introduced myself but I was in the formation your car was nicely centered on.

I'm down for lending a hand tomorrow. Where is the mission swap going down, 9k's? I'll hit up the commissary for whatever is needed for the BBQ. hoss or 9k let me know. Finally got the oil changed on the drive up ramp on base using an elaborate series of levers, ramps, and pullys... Then realized the filter was still in my hotel. Oh well, gives me an excuse to buy another 4qts of oil and do it again. In other news, to hell with the engine brace blocking the spark plugs...
