Default Tallest tire before TCS light comes on

I'm running 26" tires on the back now but want to run a 27" tire. Will this make the TCS/ABS light come on? I know running a 28" tire does.

10% difference in circumference will set it off. 5% seems
not to. 27/26 is about 4% and should be OK, 28/26 (8%)
I would not be surprised to see trouble.

Dash lights annoy the **** out of me. I'm wanting to get the 255/50r15 M/T E.T. radials which is a 27" tire. My fronts are stock 245/60r16 which is a 25.5" tire. Hopefully they'll work. If not I'll run my street tires and just use the M/T's on the track. Car blows the street tires off without the n2o.
