 Subject: Lifts & Anti-lock Brakes

Message:
Are there any issues with adding bigger tires with anti-lock brakes? I remember hearing bigger tires screws with the computer... and does not allow for proper braking. (Bigger tires mean less tire RPMs. The computer thinks your tires are turning slower than they should be.)

I have never had a problem with my anti lock and bigger tires. If I understand how the anti lock works it is based on whether on not the tire is moving and trying to lock up, not on its speed.
I.E. : you couldnt lock it up at 15 mph no diff than at 50 mph.
I could be wrong though. All I know is that mine have always worked.

well, you're kinda right... different antilock systems are different, but for example, it will take readings from the right front, left rear as a group, and the left front, right rear.... that way if one is turning and one isn't, it knows that one is locked, and does its thing. they do cross like that because if you monitored the rears together, both rears could lock up (like that ever happens, lol) and it wouldn't know it, or if you did right side/left side, you could hit a patch of ice with your right side, so they'd both lock, and it wouldn't know it... so yeah, back to the question, lol... bigger tires shouldn't hurt it... but make sure they're all the same size, k?
