Going dark side..on 2011 rocket 3 roadster with abs....what's the best size and make of a rear tire .? Abs friendly...?
 
The following is what I answered you in another recent post regarding car tire 225/55-16.

Looks to me to be within an inch the same diameter as an OEM 240/50R16.
Should not affect your ABS assuming you still are running the OEM front size of 150/80R17.
I did the calcs awhile ago, but as I remember the circumference difference needs to exceed 8% of OEM for the ABS to stop functioning. I run a slightly larger rear Excedra Max at 240/55R16 and with a 130 front the ABS stopped functioning. I can get away with a 140 up front and retain ABS function.
 
Thank you for the help!!!
 
 
I had to get a cooper cs4 only option after stranded in Nebraska, 225/55 and it throws the abs light...
 
I like the 245/50/16 federal 595 hangs on like sh!t to a blanket and good in All conditions also good mileage.
It is almost identical size to stock

I'm on my 2nd Riken Raptor ZR 225/55-16. The first lasted 29k miles. According to a tire size calculator, the 225/55 is approx 1% larger than a 240/50. You should be good.
