This does seem a strange one, but a heck of a coincidence with the tyre change if it started playing up at the same time.
I had a similar experience a few years back when the steering angle sensor lost its calibration. Happened a couple of times, so the sensor was replaced.
most of the time it wasn't as dramatic as you describe - I would travel about 200yds while the car carried out diagnostics and calibrations and the ABS light would come on. On occasions when it didn't come on, driving around bends at a range of speeds, I experienced wheel braking / power reduction etc (sometimes quite severe) until the road straightened out and it would settle down again.
Mine is a C4. Alex's suggestion is worth checking out as well.
