Default Maximum tire size % difference to trigger ABS??

Guys, according to a tire size calculator, the percentage difference between my two tires is 2.7%

can this much difference trigger ABS under moderate/hard braking?

tires are 245/40/18 front and 305/35/18 rear

i used to run same fronts but with a 275/35/18 rears which is only a 0.5% difference, and I feel like now with the 305's, the ABS is coming in a lot sooner.

I believe its +/- 2 inches in height that will affect the abs
