Thanks mate.
So what actually sets off the ABS error ? I am not getting it now but I just want to understand how it works so I know what my working range would be.

Thanks again, yeah I will have to do some more digging. I think the 245/35/20 from the front will be sweet for the back, but i also want to match the stretch on the front so trying to figure out what I can buy that wont trip the ABS, other wise it will look strange.
To get a similar stretch on the 10" as the 9", you'll need an inch wider tyre. So the 275 will be a touch wider and the 265 a touch narrower.
245 on a 10" will have quite a bit of stretch... I've got 255/35R20's on the front of mine with 20x10", I'll get a picture of the stretch for you this evening.
Also defeats the purpose of having a 10" rim ;)Quote:

This is a 255/35R20 on a 20x10" rim.
Keep in mind some tyres are narrower/wider than others.

I’d never do that with a front tyre.
Just hitting a pothole could easily break the seal and for me it would be an unacceptable risk that the tyre could roll off the rim whilst turning in hard on a bend.
Definitely no way would I allow my children or family in a car shod like that.
The tyre is fitted to a rim in the acceptable range as per the manufacturer.

Stretching the bare minimum width tyre on a front rim of a car still doesn’t convince me.
You’ve taken the load bearing wall and laid it on a much bigger angle adding stress to the tyre, that may be fine for the rear but I’d never trust it on the front when cornering and particularly on non-perfect road surfaces.
Each to their own I guess as this is a no win argument.
The rim lip protector on the tyre emphasises it more. Keep in mind a 10" rim is 254mm wide between the beads... so a 255mm tyre is hardly stretched in a dangerous manner.
