RE: Bigger tires ABS not working right
Check out your front hubs. Mine did that about 5 months ago and I had to replace one of my front hubs to fix it.
Mine did it really bad when I was almost stopped while brakingand when in a slight turn. But it also did it when straight, just worse when in a slight turn.
I reccommend taking off the front tires and checking the hubs and the tie rod ends alongwith the pitman arm and ideler arm. If it is all good up front, then most of the time the rears are set as a set with only one sensor and that is the speed sensor as well as the rear ABS sensor. If your Speedo is acting wired than it could be that as well.
Good luck!
The hubs aren't that hard to change if you have a little will and a big hammer, oh and a 23mm socket. I think it is 23mm for the half shafts. Right? I don't remember becouse I bought them and then returned them as soon as I was done with the job.

Goto the dealer. Pending on which state you live in there is a recall on the front abs sensors for corrosion. What happens is the sensor lifts away from the hub which increases the air gap of the sensor and abs reluctor ring causing unwanted abs activation. Just have them check for open recalls for your vehicle.
