Sounds like "ice mode".

You can pull the abs fuse to temporarily disable ABS, and put it back in when you want it again.

If the overall diameter of the wheels/tires are different, that can cause ABS turn on too...

You won't have abs... (while the fuse is pulled).

Once you put it back in, abs will be back.

ABS might keep you from locking up a front skinny, but you can probably manage that yourself. No abs would be better than having that hard pedal and almost no braking performance.
