Your front wheels will lock under hard braking without the ABS. Removing the ABS on big heavy street cars is a real dumb idea.

My abs light has been on for about 8 months now and I can stop perfectly fine. ABS gets upset anyways with the Bogarts and M/T's. I just pulled my cluster the other day and put some electrical tape of the cluster face so it won't be lit up all the time. I'm sure some won't think to highly of that but it works fine for me.

The M/T 295/45/17's Drag Radials are the best tires i have ever used , they work and grab Great on the street , i run them with a lot of air 28-30 psi on the street and they feel rock solid, not squishy like other tires i have used in the past.

The 295/45/17 size is perfect on a 93-02 F-body, I run them on 10.5" Fiske Mag-5 wheels, but i think a 10" even would have been better and fit inside the wheel well and inside lip more , on the passenger side on my car, my M/T hit slightly the side wall edge slightly , a little rub mark but didnt cut the tire, since then i have Koni rear adjustible shocks and a big rear sway bar, the tire has never hit the wheel well lip again
