I have a 2003 Ford focus SVT. I just purchased it and the tires looked great in the pics the PO sent me but they make a ton of noise. The size is 215/45ZR17. I have a new set of 225/40ZR17. Would these work or will they turm lights on because of the ABS and traction control???

Tire Size Comparison

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
215/45-17 3.8in 12.3in 24.6in 77.3in 819 0.0%
225/40-17 3.5in 12.0in 24.1in 75.7in 837 -2.2%

I'm not sure if it would make a difference for the ABS or anything, but -2.2% isn't a very big difference.

L8r,
