215 tire width in place of 205-65-15 on 1990 126 car?
Hello,

Anyone have any experience of going to a little wider
tire on their 126 car?
The stock tire is 205-65-15 with a diameter of 25.5"
I was thinking of going to a 215-60-15 (dia 25.2") or
a 215-65-15 (dia 26")

Will this effect the ABS system? What if I only
change the rear tires for now? Anyone know how much
of a diameter difference between front and rear that
will set off the ABS light?

Thanks
Dan

depends on the weather
I would go with a 225/60-15 if it was my choice ... the diameter is a perfect match and it works great
