rolling radius
« on: 17 August 2013, 01:08 »
2wd mk4 golf.

does the front and rear rolling radius have to be a same or will it cause issues?

new alloys fitted today. i'm running 225/40/18 on 8.5 and 9.5 (not sure if this changes radius?)

but ABS flashed once as i was coming to a stop.

suggestions please?

Rolling radius for those will be almost exactly the same won't it?

thanks for replies.

definitely didnt notice abs kicking in! car was barely moving.

it's been fine so far, so fingers crossed.

but out of interest, if both front and rear wheels had a different rolling radius, would it throw up an error?
