Default I have a 2011 911 turbo and notice that the abs activates with any 7/10 applic

I am confounded. I recently bought a beautiful 911 turbo with PCCB and notice that with even moderate pressure application, maybe 7/10 braking force, the abs is triggered. I am wondering if this sis due to the cold? Due to the PCCB in the cold (that would seem totally counter intuitive given that carbon brakes are less responsive in the cold, in general). Or, is there a problem with the ABS system?

The car has 20k miles and is virtually pristine.

Thanks for any insight

What kind of tires do you have and how old are they?

Check front to rear tire diameter ratio first

yes, that combined with older and harder tires. I store my PCCB equipped car with my Hankook "beater tires" (which are basically new) and the ABS triggers very easily and frequently compared to my MSS. Now factor in colder temps and even with the MSS I will trigger the ABS much more frequently. Actually, in the summer time, I don't think I've ever triggered the ABS and I've braked fairly hard.
