Was thinking about going with something similar in size to the fronts all the way around (not wanting to go the BF goodrich route) as to allow me to properly rotate the tires.

got a few ideas but am open to suggestions

was thinking about nitto NT555's all the way around

Also looking at the good year Eagle F1's or something similar but the price tag hurts a bit but am willing to pay the premium if I get the performance.

was checking out the tire matrix and noticed it said that I would have ABS issues if I did this.

could this be corrected with proper tuning of my programmer to know I have these sized tires on the vehicle?

what kind of ABS issues would I be looking at?

any help is greatly appreciated

If you have a'03 "A" car no issue at all...:)

thank you for the heads up

I in fact do have an A car so I'll be looking into those Nitto's unless anyone reccomends something otherwise

I just started running 255/45 18's this year - the car needs to be lowered for these to look "right".

Did the same and that is why I'm going w/ a lower profile tire (plus the benefit of being able to properly rotate).

I also don't like how the car handles/ shifts with the larger tires

the 1-2 shift just isn't what it used to be.

Hi all,

I just started running 235/55 Yokahama's all the way around and it looks and rides great. I have an occasional TC light up, is there any way to deal with this via re-programming the computer? Thanks!

i have a 300A and when i bought the car the dealer had rotated the tires....and boy did it look dumb, but it tripped the brake and ABS lights helping me get a better deal on the car. unless i have a late a almost b car i think the 300A's will trip the brake and abs lights as well without telling the computer that you changed the tire size

Easiest way to deal with it is just punch off the T/C button when you start up the car.
