Does Changing Tire Size Affect ABS Brakes

[BigMike]

I'm gonna put larger tires on my truck. Probably 265's. I now have 245's. Will that have any affect on the effectiveness of my ABS brakes?

Nope..... no problem on my '99 and I went to 285's

Actually there is a change, it may not be noticeable but there is. The speed the truck is going will be reported to the ABS system wrong and it will effect stopping. I would reccomend a product like the truspeed from skyjacker to fix the speedo and ABS inputs.





Just my . 02

Is it a 4 wheel ABS or rear wheel ABS? Mine has rear wheel and 285s don't seem to effect anything.

My truck has 4 wheel ABS and 285's have not had any negative effects on my braking! Believe me... . I tested them plenty this past icy winter
