Right where the sidewall meets the tread. wasn't fixable. It wasn't a huge cut, just a stab with a knife. I got lucky and was able to drive it slowly to Big O to get new tires. My back tires needed replacing anyways, so they kinda did me a favor.

This was like the first month of i had my license, before those guys even showed up.

Should be getting matching tires sometime this year maybe.

You need to redo your calculations. 275/60R17s are 30" tires

Once again, I stand corrected. Ok, so if the rears are 30" and the fronts are 28.1", then:

30"-28.1"=1.9" difference in diameter. Divided by two (for the radius of the tire) equals .95", or just over 15/16".
So do you guys think my tire sizes screwed up my ABS module?
