Tiptronic kickdown problem

I am having some problems with the automatic gearbox on my Peugeot 2008. When overtaking the kickdown works ok, but the tiptronic gearbox does not change up again and I have to change up manually. The dealer claims it is a tyre wear problem, is this correct?

It might be due to tyre wear. Or a sticking valve in the servo valve box.
