Maybe get the alignment un-done,, then you'll be ok again
It's surely a dodgy reluctor/pick up ring, either the type that's part of the wheel bearing or the toothed ring type that's pressed over end of driveshaft.
Only thing I can suggest is a visual check to see if grit/rust/crud is blocking the little air gap, if you have the toothed ring type reluctor then these can crack giving intermittent kick ins of TC on cornering.
Probably just coincidence re. alignment but may be worth going back to them with your complaint.

Try a steering angle reset, presumably same as FFRR as in full r/h lock>>full l/h lock and back to centre.
Some who have this issue claim bushes are at fault, some uneven tyre tread depth, but surely your alignment guys checked these basics before just doing the job when asked to...?
Sport and it's sister the Disco 3/4 do chew bushes, particularly fronts.

You might like to try fitting some proper wheels instead of the abortions you now have on it. Largest standard wheel is 20". Then look at reluctor rings and sensors.

Could be an hub bearing causing a sensor to lean on a reluctor ring. Anybodies guess. Big wheels with tyres like rubber bands will not help.

Cheers, I knew an old school sparky who would fight tooth and nail to only fit fluorescent tube lighting in domestic kitchens rather than clients wishes for spots, you sort of remind me of him with your views on fancy big wheels, but I digress.
22 inchers will no doubt strain the suspension and bearings so most likely either or, or both!!

The outer edge of the tyre is further from the centre. A longer crow bar gives more leverage. He can fit what wheels he wants, it is his car, but that size are a bit daft in my view. His speedo will be illegal.

How come, if rolling radius is same as OE it should read same regardless of rim size surely?

Sports of that year are OE 18" 19" and 20" wheels. Tyre size for 20" wheels is 275/40/20 to get the same or as near as possible rolling radius he would have to fit 275/30/22 tyres. I hope he does not have false teeth.

One presumes he has correct tyres then, and as you say 275/30/22 is the size closest available..
275/40/20" = 2286mm Rolling circumference with 706 Revs/mile
275/30/22" = 2273mm Rolling circumference with 710 Revs/mile
275/40/20" = 2286mm Rolling circumference with 706 Revs/mile
275/30/22" = 2273mm Rolling circumference with 710 Revs/mile

285/35/22 is what everyone tends to run on 22"s
Which gives 2380mm Rolling circumference with 678 Revs/mile
I'd say it matters not really, by far most Sport owners seem to display a full smile, question is, is it down to a lack of knowledge that fixadent is not a smart repair outfit, per say at least

Looks like that came off a hot wheels cartalking about elastic bands 365/15/24
bet they don't like pot holes or running over junk in the road, mind it will keep the wheel people in work.OMFG!talking about elastic bands 365/15/24
If you drove over some pubes in those yer teeth would simply explode from the rattling
