26” Tall Fronts & 27.8 Rears do they have to be same size

My ABS Stability control and Emergency Brake lights are on do I have to get taller front tires or can I just shut all that off with the Traction control button ?

More than 2% difference in size will cause issues, and be potentially dangerous.

It seems to be widely stated on this forum that you will be OK if you keep front to back tire diameter differential close to 1". You might also get a benefit to overall effective net gearing by going to a smaller rear tire diameter.

It freaks out for the first few startups and maybe 100 miles but eventually relearns wheel speeds and sorts itself out. I'm running 255/30 front and 275/40 rear until I use up my 275/40 stock from my 5th gen.
