Difference is outside tolerance (just) and is enough to upset the ABS calibration.

The ABS brake controller is monitoring the number of rotations front and rear to detect a locked (or about to lock) wheel and because ofn the sizes, it is getting confused as it will not tolerate more than ~3% difference in diameter and rotation speed. This is NOT in the ECU, it is in the ABS controller.

I run 265/35R18 front and back on 10" wide rims for track duty - for DD use I have a set of 245/45R18 and 275/40R18.

Your tyre size choice is the problem and a fix in the ABS controller is probably beyond anyone other that the ABS system OEM.

That I understand ... I originally started with that setup I it became clear to me that the problem was with diameter diference. where I am confused though, is when I brought back my 245-40-19 while keeping my 285-35-19. Diameter difference is now within 1%. and I am still experiencing ABS over reaction. is there some other criterias like rear tires diameter must be lower or equal than front tires !

thanks for you help
