It could have something to do with your front and rear tires being 0.3" different in diameter now. Stock, they are 0.1" different at most. Such a "slip" between the front and rear wheel speed sensors (there is one on each wheel for ABS and VDC purposes) may cause the system to engage sporadically.

Give it a few hundred more miles like everybody else says. If it doesn't go away, you're going to need to get some matching diameter front tires.
This is true. I think the general rule is that you want to keep your front and rear tire diameters within 3% of one another otherwise it can throw off the sensors. It's mentioned quite a bit in some of the tire sizing threads.
