ABS & Larger Tires

[Archive]

I put my new tires on today & have a few questions. Do bigger tires mess with the antilock brakes? Would recalibrating the speedometer correct the problem if there is one? What is the best way to recal the speedo so it reads accurately?
Somebody brought up the ABS question earlier and I had never really thought about it.

On a lighter note...
WOOO-HOOOO! I finally got my tires!!!!!!

According to the folks at Rickson, the only thing that will mess up the ABS is if you have 4 wheel ABS AND you install the speedo correction module they offer - currently, their module only has one wheel sensor, and you need 3 for 4 wheel ABS. Otherwise, there should be no problem.

Hoping to get my 19. 5's with Toyos this week!

DixieDawg,

As long as you install the same size (rolling diameter) tires on both axles you should have no trouble at all with the ABS. I've lived with ABS since 1990 and learned a lot about it. Now EVERY vehicle we own has either 2-wheel (the bikes) or 4-wheel (the GM product and my wife's Z3) ABS. #ad

PS, Don't tell the Moderator, he hates ABS #ad
