I am wondering what effect staggeri
(OP)
I am wondering what effect staggering tire size has on brake bias. I'd like to understand effects from both tire diameter and width, independently if possible. Wider rear tires is commonly done for high powered RWD cars, and larger diameter can be a side effect.
Thanks!

I think some years ago something ate almost all of Greg's notes on how tire width might affect things like this . . . foggy memory wants to say some small fractional-power relationship was involved, maybe something in the 0.15-ish neighborhood.

I agree that most production vehicles have similar diameters on staggered setups because they will use a smaller ratio, i.e. 255/40R19 fronts and 275/35R19 rears. My question is meant to focus on vehicles that do not follow this trend, do not have spare tires, and how/if one would correct for it in the master cylinder brake bias, before tuning traction controls, ABS, etc. Will adding larger diameter rears need more braking force, causing a front-biased condition? Or vice versa?
