If I have 215/50/16 's on the front and 225/50/16's on the back, will this trip the ABS light or cause a prob with the ABS system? Not enough to make a diff? Handling may be a bit quirky, tho. Ideas? Thanks. ZZZ.

Yes, you will trip a ABS light, mine does, I have 205-50 and 205-55. The ABS doesn't work at all. I found out tonite with spin when I got too much oversteer, the front braked great the rears locked up and carried the rear end in a clockwise motion.

Whoa, nasty ! Didn't hit anything/one I trust?

I'm deciding whether or not to change to 225's as the fronts (215's) have good tread and I'm cheap.

Anyone else? [Search has a blizzard of stuff on ABS but only one post on mismatched tire sizes} THX. ZZZ.

I didn't hit anything, I was trying out a new curvy road, it went right faster than the car wanted to go. I stalled, rolled backwards downhill almost hitting a ground line wrapped in yellow plastic that must of been a electric pole. Real close but no damage.
