However, I think you can change diameters without consequence as long as you maintain the same front to rear differential. And again, the differential % to trigger activation may be enough that you are unlikely to experience any issues unless you have a pretty significant difference in diameters. I suspect the GTS may have different programming if its diameters are different. In addition to ABS, traction control would be similarly affected. Not an issue for track people who turn it off. Interesting thought on BMWs recommended winter tire size that it is chosen to trigger activation sooner for safety reasons. I dont know what the recommended winter sizes are I run 255/40/18 rear and 235/40/18 front snows on stock wheels. |

This setup has less than a 3% differential in overall tire diameter between the front and rear. The modern ABS modules are sophisticated enough to compensate for this small change without being detrimental to performance. As some have mentioned, the stock wheel and tire packages for this car had different diameter front and rear tires - just the rears being larger. But, the car also has a recommended square winter setup which eliminates this stagger in diameter.
We're talking about <5% change in diameter, it's not going to be an issue. I ran this exact tire setup for most of last season and coming from a square 275 NT01 setup there were ZERO noticeable affects on ABS performance. |

265/40/18 is 26.3 265/35/19 is 26.3 245/40/18 is 25.7 245/35/19 is 25.8 The percentage or mph differential for the stock sizes are what will be in the BMW programming for ABS. |

Obviously, he was speaking to the original question as it relates specifically to the RR in 275/35/18 and 295/30/18.

Does the AIM Solo DL have access to wheel speed sensors? You could probably run some pretty simple tests on a deserted road with various wheel/tire sizes to see how the ABS responds differently. Maybe something along the lines of five panic stops from 60mph on the same stretch of pavement with each set of tires; check the graphs to see how soon ABS engages, how the wheel speeds vary during the stop, etc.
Even better if you can see the brake pressures at each wheel. I really do think that a 3% difference, as tsk94 said, is negligible and the ABS computer will be fine.

Dumb question but was ABS maybe not engaging? With good tires it's very possible you won't get into the ABS because you have tons of grip available.
And yes, do you even trailbrake, bro? ;-)

Well, I'm certainly not trying to engage ABS. There were a couple spots in other laps that I def did engage ABS. I'll try to fish out an example.

I mean, I personally have noticed earlier interventions on a square setup from the stability control. If ABD and ABS are also running on high alert (meaning, just running along closer to an intervention threshold) because the rear wheel speed is also a little quicker than it would be on the stock staggered setup, it makes perfect sense to me what he's saying about how the system would react and what the consequences would be. But he's right on the limit of what the car can do on any given lap, and is ALSO somebody who knows a thing or two about development, and most people just aren't coming at a car from that angle, so for most people, square just makes more sense as it's a very good, very easy button to smash, and you can set up a fast racecar around a square setup too

If I run the 275/295 combo again this season, which I likely will, I will compare my Aim data to that of running the 275 square to see if there is any difference in ABS intervention between the two. This is also assuming that it would be a negative impact, until both sets are analyzed it could that it's actually a benefit. Remember, the stock wheels came with a diameter offset, perhaps running a square setup is more detrimental to ABS performance than a diameter offset between the front and rear. |

Like DRLane my Aim data doesn't register ABS activation . Thus I'm not sure of a way to compare (easily) ABS differences between the two sets. If anyone knows of a method let me know and I'll look into it once I get the data from running the 275/295 stagger again in 2 weeks.

I'm at 16 heat cycles on mine. When these cycle out I'm going to replace the 295 with 305/35s and send this diameter variance in the opposite direction.

I would expect to see a difference in Longitudinal G-force more than any difference in ABS activation, or I guess more accurately I would expect to see ABS activation at a lower Long G threshold. The slip thresholds and targets for ABS are not very big, and are tuned to the stock tires. This is why some cars are super susceptible to "Ice Mode" and others are not, even when modified. It also means that when you change stuff, you may be using up a lot of that threshold so that when it does engage it's falsely detecting wheel slip because of the difference in wheel speed from diameter as opposed to wheel slip.
I work on the OEM side of things so I have a little more perspective on the capabilities (and limits) of the stock road-legal ABS systems. I've also experienced proper motorsport ABS and that's so far ahead of what we get to deal with on our street-based cars, it's astonishing.

In the context of ABS activation, I was wondering if 275/30/19 and 275/35/19 maintain square contact patch but allows for "staggered" diameter. I was using this combinations for the first two trackdays this year it wasn't bad

@tsk94 Hi man, what pressures were you running with the RRs? We're you relatively close to stock weight?
