    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.
