What size front wheel/tire combo do I need to avoid the dreaded TC/ABS gremlins caused by non-stock tire diameter front/rear difference?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

If what you have in the front is working well then get something the same height and you will be sure to not have problems. I've always kept the fronts around 1 to1.5 inches difference and don't have any issues.

I've driven to the track and back a couple times with my skinnies on, but I normally change tires at the track.
BTW, skinnies have so little tread, it doesn't take many miles before they die. I have less than 300 street miles on them and they already have less than 1/16th remaining.
