Had my abs checked out last week. It is working but it doesn't kill all of the brake lock, but it does make the car controllable. According to my mechanic, it's to "optimize" braking without losing control of the direction of the car.

Is this normal ?? Or is my mechanic explaining away a problem ? I still get loud screeching noise from the tires (lock), but car direction is controllable. Locks pretty easily but it does stop on time.

WIll it help if I use wider tires upfront (lock is from the front) - I am still on the standard 205 upfront (PS3) and 255 rear tires (PS2). WOuld seem logical since the rears are so much wider but then isn't the brake pressure proportioning valve supposed to help on this ? These are standard 986 17" tire sizes.

Anyone have the same issue ? Or is there something wrong with my car ?
