Default ABS

Evening all,

Might be a silly question but does having a larger rolling radius tyres on the rear and smaller on the front effect the abs on a 3door? (ie-bring in fault lights)Or will the system compensate for this the same way it would when going round in a circle?


Cheers.


Tim

I thought the sensors get their readings from the teeth on the abs ring inside the hub. I'm not a mechanic so would actually like to learn

When you are stopping it measures the difference between the counts and if it sees aaabig difference it does it's abs stuff
So unless you are putting radical different wheels on an inch wing make a difference
