Tire diameter

I got 18" Carrera Lightweight wheels for my Boxster S
7.5x18 50
9x18 52
but the tires aren't statndard, they are Michelins PS2 235/40/18 in the front and 265/40/18 in the rear. Would that throw off and disable the PSM and ABS? I drove 100+ miles on these tires already and the car seems fine. The ABS light did not come on at all. I think these tires/wheels were from a GT3.
Thanks

If the diameter is more than a 4% difference then it is said you will get a light because the system does not like the wheel speeds it sees. Your car must be happy.

Snow chains? If the snow is that bad, the Boxster is probably a poor choice. Anything deep and yucky enough that Hakki or Alpins can manage is probably too yucky for a car with 4" of ground clearance.

ettsn raises an excellent point. I've used a winter wheel/tire set for use in snow only, but the ice/snow mix - especially the "chunks" left behind by snowplows - is very dangerous for any car w/limited clearance, and I banged up a couple of front lower control arms that first winter. Taught me an $$ lesson. I do drive in cold weather AND if there is very little snow, but once it hits 4" or so, the Boxster is parked. Good luck,
