Dont mix tyre sizes when u have EBD!!!

[R3OBC]

ok, i posted a while back about my pedal juddering, as the ABS was kicking in much to early.........this was due to the 185 55 profile rear tyres, and the 195 50 profile fronts! Now that im runing 195 50s all round, its back to normal and the ABS/EBD is happy!!!!!! and so am i!!! Mint Powerful brakes again so just a word of warning, it DOES fcuk up the Braking system!

I must not have EBD then.....

DONT RUN MIXED TYRE SIZES FULL STOP, seriously not a good move, if the car has the same size all round then it is meant to run the same size all round IMO

 

[Steveold]

not if I get understeer.... Run Fatter tyres on front... understeer gone.... Good eh. Now coz the back comes out a little I can corner faster!

i changed my fronts for 195/50s for value reasons........but now i agree, run all 4 at the same!!!!! My brakes work again!!!!! lol

LOL, yup normally the reason, we had a guy at work who came in with a 325 complaining of the tyre rubbing the arch he had lowered it and was running tyres with a higher sidewall as his mate could get that size cheap, i said tough you have three choices, put the std springs back on, put up with the rubbing or put the right fooking size tyres on, muppet

well, it was just my brakes that didnt like it, they must have been fooloed into thinking that the rears were going slower than the fronts, so swallowed up my braking power trying to compensate for a lack of grip----------which was not actually there lol!!!!!!!! much better now tho

LOL, lesson learned and no-one got hurt
