I remember reading that having the front and rear diameters too far from each other can make the traction control think you are slipping.

Can someone confirm or deny this?
My front's are 26.6 (275/35-19) and rear's is 27.2. (345/30-19) That's .6 difference in height. No problems yet.

Good info, but 345?!? I am assuming you are boosted.
