can SLIGHTLY shorter or taller tires in the rear comapred to the fronts really freak out the ABS/TC system?
MrWilson said:Its not 4wd, there is no prblm.
Grifter said:but there is when the wheel speed sensors dont read the same front to rear. thats how the traction control system works. i was just wondering what kind of tolerences there were in the system before it started causing problems..
1/2" tire hieght difference acceptable, 1"? etc..
MrWilson said:im tellin ya, there no problem. I run 60's up front, and 40's in the back. no problem.
traction control works off of the rear wheels, if one is spinnin faster than the other.
Grifter said:thats great and all, but give us the important numbers too.. you just gave us the aspect ratio of the tire..
FWIW i'm running 275/40/17 rear, 245/45/17 front.
they should be the same height, but since they are different manufacturers, that doesnt mean they are.
and my question is concerning the part where, what if they arent the same hieght? how much tolerance is acceptable to the computers..

t/c runs off both front and rear abs sensors,
think about it,if you have both rear tires spinning equally the system has to judge off the fronts too,otherwise the system would say,"well,everything looks peachy" and you would spin all day long
this system still works with limited slip and what not,MrWilson said:But since its not a locker, they wont spin equally. and one will constantly be slower thanthe other, untill they both have traction again.
