Different sized tyres

[The Big Yin]

Will it make much dfference if you have 35 profile tyres on the front and say 40 profile tyres on the back ?

Will it affect things like traction control etc....

Its for a mates mate

It shouldn't do to any great extent, but I have heard that some of the volvos that run stupidly complex 4wd systems don't like it if you run one worn set on one end and a fresh set on the other, so it *might* be a problem, but I doubt it tbh.

Just make sure he doesn't mix profiles on the same axle! :dead: lol

No same profile and wear on each axle Cheers

I'd have thought that since they compare wheel rotational rates the traction control and the ESP would be very unhappy at significantly different rolling diameter tyres. The question is how much different they've got to be before the computer thinks there's a problem.
