You have a 300B w/traction control--it is calibrated to sense the rotating speed difference between the front and rear wheels--changng the size of the fronts will cause an erroneous reading

You can do this change on a Marauder with out traction control!

YES this can be done!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (assuming there is sufficient clearence) My winter tires are same front and rear (26.8"), the traction control light will come on at about 35 mph with related engine cylinders cut-off, but simply switch off TSC above 30 and all is fine. ABS light does not come on, and ABS functions fine. Now, the 255 rears would look awful on front, in my opinion.
