Default C5 Tire Size Ratios with BFG Rival-S

P275/35ZR18 Front Diam 25.6
P315/30ZR18 Rear Diam. 25.5

Tires BFG Rival-S

Will this cause any TC/AH ABS issues with this type of set up. After dividing the front to rear diameter i get 0.9845559845559846 which is in the .942 - .98 rule. I might be answering my own question , but would like to get 2nd,3rd,4th opinions?

Thank You

I ran 275/40R17 and 315/30R18 back when the Kuhmo XS was around, which is a slightly taller front. I thought it made TC very touchy when the system was turned on, but no obvious problems for street driving.

It is a non-issue. Someone should sticky this answer.

Damn thats too close to tell. Rerun the calculation with additional significant digits. Sorry about that, couldn't resist.

315 / 335 combo works great!

If you were to run a square setup on a C5 with 10.5 X 18's would you go with P315/30ZR18 or something smaller? Thanks
