Post Smaller tire diameter and ABS question

I put some 23.5 x 10.5 x 16 inch slicks on my spare wheels and am wondering if this will affect the ABS in any detrimental way on the track. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

ABS is dependent on greatly differential speeds between the wheels. Different sizes won't change that. If one tire or more starts to lock and others are still turning, the ABS will kick in on that one corner.

Look at all the people changing rim and tire sizes, affecting the weight in each corner, yet the ABS works correctly.

Don't worry about it.
