I need to buy new tires and I want wide tires on back and not so wide tires on front yet my van has antilock brakes and the tires have to be the same hight. So if any of you guys knows of a site that has that kind of info I could use it. Thank you, Mark

Try this 'calculator'. It allows you to play around with various parameters of tire sizing. It's not perfect as all manufactures vary a bit, but it's pretty close.

Your best bet is to go to the tire manufacturers' website and see how they spec them out. As has been said the "nominal" size is just that...nominal. Even a slight difference in diameter won't matter to the ABS system.

I went to the tire place and bought-215/70R15 front and 235/60R15 out back on my Keystone klassic rims.
