SL55 Front tyres
Hi All,
I was wondering if there are implications if i was to change the profile of my front tyres from 255/40/18's to 255/35/18's?
Would the ESP etc have an issue with this or will the car behave strangely? I always thought doing this would be fine but thought i should get some advice before going ahead with the change.
Thanks

I recall reading something on the "E" forum regarding ESP having issues if the outside diameter of the front tires and rear tires where too different. The issue came up because of drag radial set ups and caused ESP to freak. I don't think you would have an issue with such a minor change.
