Tire size and ABS

Will a 1.2% tire height difference affect the ABS?
275/40-17 front and 285/40-17 rear. Both Nitto 555..probably not just thought I'd ask..

With 26" tires on the front and 27"s tires on the rear mine will throw the abs light.

You're probably ok at .3 difference.

Not a problem. I've run 245/50/16 front and 255/50/16 rear for years on end.

I can say with 100% certainty, based on first hand experience, that this won't be an issue at all. I had a 275/40, 285/40 combo just like this for about two years on my '98.
