long time, no post, new question

[Jokester]

Lost my link, but finally found my way back.

I have an ABS question.  Can you change from 225/55R17 to 235/55R17 tires on one axle without screwing up the ABS?  It's a 2013 Impala.

I have 2 decent 235s left over from another vehicle and hate to buy two new 225s if I can avoid it.  Cheap ya know.

thx.

I would think it would be fine . The ABS will just read the wheel speed and as it goes close to lock up will apply/release the near lock up wheels.I would guess you have 4 circuit ABS on that car . you have tires that are 11mm larger in diameter or about a 2% difference in circumference

Those are the sizes on my 99 GTP and for the same reason. I run with ABS disabled but also think you are OK. On mine, 235s rub a little where 225s do not. So they stay on the rear where they barely rub with low tread. They never wear out on the back. I have been using the 225/55R17 Douglas "performance" tire (on Mustang wheels) for around $70 apiece at WM and while they don't last forever or do superbly in rain, they seem good for the price. Round and quiet.

Just be careful of the AGE of those tires
