ABS speed sensor error running 285/75's ?

Anyone using 285/75 tires and having speed sensor errors? I'm looking to go from the stock 265/75 R16 to wider-width tires and curious if the larger wheel diameter and less tire revolutions would set off a computer code due to the ABS speed sensors

thanks in advance.

Same here. Running 285/75 with no problems. Speedo is off by about 3% but you can get that adjusted at dealer or with a programmer. My dealer did it for free. Only took him about 20min.

As long as all four tires rotate at the same rate ( all four are the same circumference) you'll have no issues.

great, thanks for the quick responses.

I have a '02 f350 4wd and glad to hear that the wider tires will work without any computer problems.
