Depends on the overall diameter difference between your front and rear tires. Anything more than say an inch and you risk pissing off the ABS, have to either--1. properly size your tires, 2. ditch the ABS totally, or 3. ignore the light and drive. ABS only works when your jamming on the brakes, so by no ABS, all that means is that you need to learn how to brake "Old School" pump the pedal, don't just stand on it..car will still be safe, just have to learn to stop differently.
