Default Mismatched tire sizes: ESC, TC, ABS issues?

Hello,

I tried searching but couldn't find a thread on this. I bought a set of Nankang CR-S V2 in 265/30/19 and 325/30/20 as those were the closest sizes I could source. I figured that 20mm extra width wouldn't hurt but misread the diameters when I was looking at different sizes (265/35/19 was OOS). The original stagger had a 5% R/F differential. This set will have a 9% R/F differential. Will this cause problems with the ESC, TC or ABS systems? If so, how do I disable those warnings?

Thanks,

Chris

No, I don't think it would create any issue. It gets a bit sensitive if you use the same diameter front and rear, but even that is more of an issue in regular modes like Touring, etc. Since your setup is the other way around, I don't see it causing issues.

Back in the day of C6 Corvettes, this was a bigger issue, but since C7s, the system has become quite a bit more tolerant.

Thank you for that bit of info @X25 . FWIW, I read through your entire build thread. Nice work.

I ran the car for the first time at Laguna Seca on Saturday. I ran in Track mode in PTM Sport 1. I didn't have any issues with traction control or ABS the entire day.
