Fitted 4 new goodyear eagle f1 and had the tracking sorted too and on the drive home the check esp light came on. So pulled into the hard shoulder and switched the engine off, the light disappeared. After another few miles it came on again. Stopped at an atm and drove off and the light hasn't come on again, whats going on here?
4 new tyres fitted, check esp light came on twice!

Good to know! I've just placed an order for 2 Eagle F1's - unfortunately not by choice by a nail has found it's way into my tyre (unrepairable) so both the front's are getting replaced. Will be interesting to see the difference between the SportContact 5's and the F1's
They are all 225/45/17. What do you mean on the right way round lol?
I realise that the correct size for the wheel is 215 but before I changed to the Eagles there were 2x225 on the front and 2x215 on the back for some reason before I bought the car and it was driving fine. So the only tyre sizes I've changed was at the back.

Your question has been answered.
Its surprising how many tyre places actually get the fitting of the tyres wrong. It might solve your problem, it might not. But at least its another thing to tick off the list.
now I'm confused, fitting a tyre shouldn't be this hard. The Orange and green lines you see are on the outside portion of each tyre which would make sense. There is also a "rim protector" marker on each tyre facing outwards. But from the low shot you can see that the tread patters aren't the opposite on each side. Should they not be mirror images of each other? The wavy part of the tread on each side is going up to the right. ??????

No it recalibrates the esp supposedly
ive had issues before when on a two post lift with the wheels spinning. Drop it down and the check esp is displayed. I've read steering lock to lock recalibrates

no the ecu doesnt need to re-calibrate...fitted my 225/45 yokohama tires and never had any of the above mentioned issues..the tire width has nothing to do with that..did it go into limp mode??
No, just the wee red spanner thing lit up and the dash said check esp. Turned off the engine it went away and came back on a few miles later. Restarted engine again and it didn't come back on for the rest of the journey, il be taking it for a good drive in a bit so il let you know the results.

Possibly disconnect the battery for half hour, this can reset the ecu. May solve it, make sure you have your radio code handy however.
