Default S6 A/S tires size 275/35/19- any issue with ABS?

About to replace the stock size 265/35/19 with the 275s since I want all-seasons. Tire rack and others here confirm the size is fine however my tire guy says sometimes the slightly different size will affect proper operation of the ABS system. I know others here have run them without reporting problems but just wanted to check. Thanks!

You should have no problems with that.

The size difference in tire height is miniscule.

Installed the Conti Extreme DWS' 275s yesterday and so far I absolutely love them. Better ride, quieter, and seem to even fill the wheel wells better. More muscular looking. Coincidentally, Conti began a promo on Monday where if you buy 4 tires they will send you a Nook Simple Touch e-reader! Matt, what pressure are you running? Car placard says 44psi but my tire guy recommended 40. So far, I wish I had done this 3 years ago!

I have run that same setup for almost two years. At first I used 44psi but have since dropped to 40psi.
