tire size affect anti-lock? just got a big-cube C6 and put MT 305/35/19 et streets on. Listed diameter is 27.9" which is 1" up from stock. The fronts are 25.9". So the difference front-rear is now 2" not 1". Is there a limit on difference before the anti-lock is affected?? What are my options? I must use the MT's. so taller fronts might be the best bet.

Maybe no help here but I know in HPTuners there is a section that is for putting in what tire size you are running but I can't remember if you can put different sizes front and rear. If the wrong size is entered and you drive it for a while the ABS will shut itself off. Just drive for a while and see, it won't hurt it.

It wont affect it at slow speeds ut as you get faster the ratios become more apparent, and it will affect it.
On my WS6, when the ET street (non radials) would grow on the top end it was just enough to trip abs. and when done with a run I would get on brakes the pedal would all ready be modulating, because the difference.. once the car came back down to sub90mph they has shrank again and the pedal would instantly go back to normal.
