@Ron Burgundy I can't help but wonder if Walkinshaw reprogram the abs for their big brake kits.
I thought big brakes primarily resolve overheat issues from excessive spirited driving or racing but wouldn’t really impact ABS design/programing.
But tyre size and tyre compound does change the expected vehicle dynamics due to the different forces exerted by them which would have some impact on ABS and the various vehicle stability programs in use within our machines. Same goes for brake pad compound. The actual brake calipers and discs, not so much.
Meanwhile there are no strong controls on changing tyre width (as long as it’s within flimsy rules) and we are free to use whatever tyre compound we like as long as it has legal tread depth. As for brake pad compounds, we’re free to use what we want on our standard brakes of your vehicle.
Whatever walkinshaw does with regards to compliance, it would be as little as they can get away with (just like any company) yet they’d spruk their enormous investment and design skills. Meanwhile they’d work behind the scenes to tighten you the rules and exclude back yarders as much as they can get away with.
It’s all a game really...
