Will different size tires on a 1993 Oldsmobile regency affect the abs braking system?

No, the ABS sensor looks at little teeth behind the brake rotor to tell if the wheel has locked up or not, the tire size will effect you speedometer calibration a little though. If you mean have one size tire on the front drivers and a different size on the front passenger then, YES, it is very bad to have different size tires on the drive axle (your car is front wheel drive), your handling will be ruined, brakes will pull to one side and the differential in the transmission will be put under extra stress from one wheel turning at a different speed then the other at all times. If you mean one size on the back and another on the front, NO, your handling will be effected alittle but but the brakes should operate fine.

A study was done to find if the different tire treads affect the braking distance of a car what is the independent variable?
The type of tread is the independent variable and the braking distance is the dependent variable.
Does Speed Affect Braking Distance Of A Vehicle?
Yes
What things can affect braking distance?
Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires
Does Speeding has no affect on braking distance?
yes
Does rim size and weight on a 93' Integra RS affect braking?
overall tire diameter is the determining factor to braking ability. the bigger the tire the less effective the braking.
How does going a bigger tire size affect the braking?
A wider tire may decrease braking distance, but it depends on many factors.
How does mass speed of vehicle affect the braking distance?

Will water or dust affect the efficiency of the braking system?
Water, yes.
When driving fifty miles per hours how far will it take you to stop?
On dry, level pavement, with decent tires? About 120 feet. Many things affect this calculation. With worn tires the distance can increase to 210 feet. Dirt roads require longer braking distances than pavement. Ice can increase the braking distance by hundreds of feet. Braking down a hill, depending upon the slope, can double the braking distance, whereas braking up hill can halve that distance. If you lock the tires, you typically increase the braking distance. You can reduce the distance by pumping the brakes. Anti-lock brakes allow the tires to slip, which decreases the braking distance. Extra weight in the vehicle increases the braking distance. Refer to the link below for calculating the braking distance at different speeds with different tire wear on dry, level pavement.
Why factors affect your braking distance?
Hand-eye coordination, thinking distance, drunkenness, tiredness, if your on drugs, if your listening to music/being distracted. Thats just about it Also speed and road conditions affect braking distance
How does friction affect cars?
in many different ways including the whole braking system, but engine friction causes lose in MPG's because the engine is working against itself
2 factors that affect reaction distance and braking distance?
i dont know maybe you guys do.
