Weird brake problem with cruise control

A number of times now while using the cruise control, I'll hit the brakes and the pedal feels like it's 10x harder to press. I'll release it and press again and it's fine. It only happens when in...

fwiw, I haven't noticed any difference in the drivability with the 265/60/18s, which are roughly 1.5" larger; and on these particular tires, no different in tread width to the original 255's. It's...

I'm surprised that the 275/60's fit at all. At full lock there's hardly any room to spare with my setup.

I thought I'd give a belated update in case anyone in the future is thinking of doing this.

I ended up getting a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3's in 265/60/18. They got a really good review from...

Thanks - a 285/50/20 would be only ⅜" smaller than the 265/65/18's I'm thinking about, so that's good to know.

It still doesn't seem right that I can fit a tire that's 2.5" taller than stock...

Did you need the spacers for clearance on the 275's, even with the 45's, or did you just want a wider stance? They clear the fenders O.K. I assume, even with the spacers?

Thanks - yeah, I'm resigned to the additional noise, though of course I want to minimize it as much as possible.

On the width, they do make an 18" pizza cutter @ 255/70, but that would be a full...
