what year is your car? if it is a 2005-2006, then they're probably related. it would be a problem with the ABS wheel speed sensors. just a guess. but yeah, need to get that looked at.

It might be low on brake fluid; if this is the case don't just add fluid, change your brakes. there is a tire reset light in your glove box, hold it down

then your tire pressure light will always flash or stay on unless you removed the sensors from stock wheels to put in these, or had sensors put on these wheels

Correct, 06 does not have TPS, it uses the ABS sensor to read wheel speed and checks that against what it thinks the wheel speed should be (for stock sized rims and tires). To reset it for new sized wheels and tires, hold down the TPMS button in the glove box till the (!) light flashes 3 times. if that doesnt fix it pull the negative lead off the battery (car off ofcourse) and let it sit for about a min, then put it back on. If the lights come back on after that one of your abs sensors may be on the way out.

what is stated above about tire pressure monitoring system in the tc is correct. however, if it was just a simple tire pressure issue, then just the tire pressure warning light would be on. but since the ABS light is on, that means there is something wrong either with the wheel speed sensor(s) or the ABS control module or something else brake related and it needs to be checked out.

Agreed. Did some more reading up on it today and it seems like the issue is indeed that a wheel speed sensor isnt giving data in an acceptable frequency (means wheel speed sensor is going bad or is dirty). I would take it into the dealer as these affect the ABS system and thats something you dont want to have be erratic/malfunctioning.
