Brake malfunction
I hit a curb and blew a tire, got a temp for now (it's more profile, running 225/40/18 front; 235/45 on the right and 235/40 on left for the rears) that's just until the shop gets kumhos in stock.
Anyways I have these lights on my dash, can anybody tell me if I should look into something? I don't want to pay unnecessarily to the dealsership if its something small, the brakes work fine for now

from left to right;
1. get gas
2. the abs light, probably one because you have a weird tire on there, ABS measures the wheel speeds, and just driving straight, they should all be the same, if they aren't it'll turn the light on
3. you headlights are on
4. your seat belt is off, tsk tsk!
5. the brake light either means your Ebrake is on, or the fluid is low. we'll assume you have the ebrake on, since the car is traveling 0mph
6. traction control light, see #2
7. check engine light, its not connected to any of the other lights.

the abs light is on because the system is sensing a problem... it could be the different size in tires (causing the wheel spin between axles to be different) or the actual sensor for the wheel is bad.
since there is a problem with the abs, it will turn off you traction control (why the light is on) and will cause the brake light to come on (notifying you there is a problem with the whole brake system)
as far at the CEL... get it read and tell us the code
