[QUOTE="Norm Peterson, post: 16130035, member: 193960"] The ABS system only has so much tolerance, and the number most commonly mentioned seems to be 3%, which is enough to cover replacing worn-out tires at one end of the car at a time. What can happen is that the ABS module could see the front wheel rpms dropping too fast relative to the rear wheel rpms if the new amount of tire stagger is too much different from whatever the ABS system was calibrated to. In a hard stop, that might mean releasing the front brakes at a particularly bad time if the ABS system didn't take itself offline (usually this throws the ABS light in the instrument panel at you, but I wouldn't want to have to count on this always being the case). Some cars are more sensitive about this than others, but this very situation came up recently on another forum that I belong to. The guy ended up having to change out his new set of tires.
