Agreed they do. Some even run 305's with rubbing and melting their mud flaps. Each to their own once again. Factory spec for the tread is 9.3 so I'm not far off.

Who suggested the 3% acceptable deviation?

I have 33's on the Land Cruiser and 295-75 x 16's, whatever their height is, on the LX. You won't believe this, but ABS works fine.

But not only that...

This is Canguro Racing's 200 series "Monica". You may notice the tires probably blow the 3% deviation out of the water. She placed second in her division in the Baja 1000. First place was a factory Toyota truck. Amazingly, her ABS works perfectly, but can be turned off.

yes you are, providing there is zero difference in the way the sensors are programmed between the two vehicles even though they are different vehicles

This picture sure makes the truck look stock. The only way you can say "ABS works" is if you tested the stopping distance on both vehicles with the different tires. Im sure it would work with 24's on it too. But would it work as well ask an oem setup? Even tough you already seem to have all the answers, I doubt you can make this claim without performing a test like this.

Based on my practical Jeep experiences: Slightly larger tires with a small lift (or no lift) is not a problem (that means going from 31 or 32" tires to 33" tires and 2" lift). When you go to 35 or 37" tires and 3.5" lift and higher, you usually want to disable ESP because it can make you a lot of troubles while driving on paved roads. ABS still works fine, there are no known problems with ABS and bigger tires. Jeep allows you permanently disable ESP on JK Wranglers when you need it because of using bigger tires.
I went to 35" tires and 3.5" lift on my JK and I can confirm that at this configuration ESP is a problem and engages at sharp turns. So I had to switch it off permanently. My friend who has just 2" lift and went from 32" tires to 33" on his JK Rubicon had never any issues.
For more details regarding Jeep, ESP and larger tires, see for example here: http://www.jkowners.com/forum/stock-...e-pavment.html

I don't think there can be any problems using just 1" larger tires on LX or Land Cruiser.

I have never claimed to have all the answers.

I have doubted, though, claims that tires more than 3% different in diameter from one set to the other, will result in a combination of the Second Coming and armageddon. Anecdotal evidence comes not even close in supporting that theory. ABS always works if all tires have the same diameter, assuming the sizes are from Toyota's oem sizes to whatever you can reasonably shove under the fenders, with or without a lift kit. Theories are normally proven by anecdotal evidence, which in this case indicates that ABS function will not be compromised as long as all 4 wheels lock up. Stopping distance definitely pends more on tire type than how long it takes ABS to work. Read the 2 posts below, particularly the one from MAX707.

When anecdotal evidence doesn't demonstrate a theory, the theory simply remains a theory. Google "Occam's Razor" and go from there. Glad you got the your tires .



Hate to say it, but that may not make a difference if one's head is up in a place where one cannot hear.

Well I guess I am in the minority that bought a Lexus to use as a family hauler and not a rock crawler, with OEM specs. Going to go enjoy my dead silent vibration free ride to work. Notice in the original post all I asked was which tire, not which tire size and this thread as usual forum threads go, went way off topic. Either way I thank everyone for their input. I've been a member here for many years and this forum is a great resource.
