RE: abs inop
Yes, the tires would have everything to do with it, if they're a different diameter. Under normal operation, the ABS system works by getting readings from the speed sensors at all 4 wheels. If it registers a different speed from one or more wheels, either while accelerating or braking, it will assume there is a loss of traction and activate the ABS/traction control. If you put on a pair of tires that are a different overall diameter from the other two, the ABS system is going to be constantly giving an off-reading to the computer. So, if that's what you did with the tires, your ABS system is confused. You have two (logical) options, get another pair of tires that match, or live with the fact that you don't have an operational ABS system any more.
