285/60/18 Tires Screw up ABS???

[Raque Thomas]

If you go with 285/55's instead of 60's, you'll have a tire that is very close to the same diameter as the original and will only affect your speedo by about 2.5%, vs about 6% for the 60's. I've been running 285/55's for several months and have had no problems with the ABS, nor do I recall any of the many people running larger tires reporting such problems. Just my $.02

ABS is over rated, just disconnect that crap like I did. Reacts better offroad and on road when road gets real bumpy and you try to stop and it won't cause ABS. 305 70 17 Inch Goodyear Wrangler MTR's on KMC Venom rims...my ABS light stayed on

Tire height changes will impact ABS and all changes will be in the systems response time - I can tell the difference with tire size changes of a 1/2" but not everyone will. The more the speedo is off, the greater the impact on ABS and shifting. Attached are the VX specific install instructions for this product and I can usually ship within a week of receiving the order.

Been on 285/60/18's for about 3 years now. Not a problem. As stated above, you shouldnt have to trim any with a stock rim on this meat. I had to trim a tiny bit on teh front lower cladding for turning while in reverse, but it was no more than 1/2". A wider rim will most likely call for more trim work.

Braking doesnt "appear" to be affected at all.

I have also been running Tone's Autotrans module since I bought the VX. I recently took it off due to calibration problems I have been having with it, and the only noticable change appears to be the shift timing.
In all, with a larger tire, just take your time getting used to it. Dont get all cocky and gung-ho at first and once you get the feel, you will be fine. Your ride might be a little bit rougher with more road coverage, but if you are like me.... that's more than welcome.
