If I go from the stock size of 245/75/16 on my Pathy to a size 265/75/16 do I have to change the Sapir to the same size? I was told it can cause problems with the PF is I ever need to use it?

Yeah, it will mess with the anti-lock brakes and traction control systems. My friend had purchased two tires and the place mistakenly put on 270/65R17's on the front, while they had the stock sized of 265/65R17's on the back. When she got up to 45 MPH, the anti-lock brakes took the difference in speed as a sign the car was skidding and it started to apply the brakes and cause the warning lights for the VDC to flash.
