ABS gets pissed at 10% difference in tread circumference
(or diameter, but that depends on where you measure).
Nothing to do about that. Never seen anybody with a
beef below 5% difference. Maybe buy a pair of skinny
front rims in larger wheel diameter. I had stock wheels
narrowed and had a bitch of a time finding anything that
matched ET Streets in a 6" rim width, and they ended
up being as heavy as the other tires anyway.
