    Default difference in tyre size

    would putting a smaller profile tyre on the rear then the front cause abs problems eg. (front)215 65 r15, and 215 55 r15 on the rear?

    why would it, what makes you think it would. I can't see any logic why it would make a difference.

    the smaller profile makes a smaller rolling diameter meaning the rear wheels will be spinning faster then the fronts! i knew it would bring on traction control but im not sure if abs would kick in. even though it is a braking thing i was just wondering if someone knew.
