Anyone on here have 295-35-18s on the back and have/not have probs with cruise control? I remember losing cruise just after putting on my new rims and tires, and just wondered if anyone else had the same probs.
Tire-rim size and Cruise
- Thread starter sighwest

I had those same size tires on the back of my Cobra and I had cruise control working just fine.
Er... how do you figure those two things are related?
Only thing I know of if the diameter of your tires from front to rear is over a certain percentage the ABS light comes on since the sensors detect the front wheels are spinning at a higher rate from the rear. Other than that should not affect cruise control.
Lube up your cruise cable under the hood. That will prob fix your issue.
I run that asize tire and no issues

cable could be broke, servo bad, steering wheel switches bad, pedal switches bad, wiring, or simply a fuse... tires, no.. unless there is a major ABS problem, but i think in these years it didnt work with ABS, it was speed sensor driven, and Servo adjusts the TB to regulate the speed
Tire/rim size can effect whether or not cruise will function in some cars. Believe me or not...do a google search and see for yourself. I don't appreciate the smart remarks, but that's all right.
Thank you. I swear I lost cruise after I put on the after market rims and tires. My rear tire is almost 6% off from the original combination if the online calculator I found is accurate. I remember throwing the stockers back on one day before I installed the KB and the cruise worked. I was like "son of a b" my cruise is working again. Since then, I've sold the original wheels and tires, and had the whole engine pulled, so....it could be numerous things at this point.
Just figured I'd ask to see if anyone else experienced anything similar, but...guess not. My aunt's infinity did the same thing, and it was an older model.
I use this for calculating tire size Tire size calculator and your rears over the OE tire size 245/45-17 says your 295/35-18 are 1.7% too slow When the speedo reads 60mph. the rear tires are actually traveling at 61. mph
I just can't seem to figure why I got cruise back when I put my stockers back on. Cruise worked fine, I changed the wheels and tires, cruise quit working. I put stockers back on, cruise worked fine. How could I think it had anything to do with the aftermarket wheels and tires? Guess I'm an idiot.
thanks for the info
I have 305/35/18's on the rear of my car and cruise control works great.
What size tires are you running up front?
Nice pick of your ride looks like the old BK hangout?
Hey Jon,
I'm running 275/35/18's on the front. The picture in the sig. is with the old tires sizes.
That picture is from Mustang Week 09' and it does kinda look like BK in Manassas. Which I still go to almost every Saturday night in the summer.
