i want to run the sizes that have already been mentioned in this thread. 28" height, doesn't that make the ABS INOP act up or something? something that has to do with a 2" tolerance between the difference of the front and rear tire height; it triggers it from what i've read...

This kind of blows, i have my mind set on them 295//45/17...i really don't want to run a 315/35 series tire...
Hypotheitically, if i do the SJM delete kit, can i use a proportion valve to adjust to more of my braking style? I am as green as it comes with this FYI
I'm going to pull the fuse today and see how she feels for about a wk or so...this is ABS tolerance thing has put a hold on a bunch of goodies

I hear that.....I want to remove my ABS and do a line lock.....along with not having issues with a custom rearend swap....and pull the air bags....BUT I'm sure a few of my kids will end up driving this car on the street and I just don't know if I want them driving it if it's not as safe as it could be.

^ the racemasters is the tire i really want to run but i'm aiming for 15k+ for mileage...how long did that last you?
From what i've read, those tires point inward a little and if you roll your fenders with a lil BFH mod you should be good

I had the original ones that are on the narrow side so I never had a problem with fitment. I only had them on the car for a while because I put regular street tires back on. I was selling the car and I wanted the person who bought it to have functional ABS. I put maybe 3k miles and 4 passes on the tires max and they still look brand new. If you don't travel highway much you could probably get 10k...maybe. It depends on your driving. I still have them actually and they might end up on my current f-body

here is a pic to show u guys just how big the 345 toyo tires are the bald tire is a 315 Mickey Thompson.
They are going to look good when i get the $$ to do a mini tub but there is no way they would fit with out tubing the car
