LC,


The manual doesn't really push it, but CRV, Pilot, and Element should
use a five-tire rotation to avoid the mess you're in now. I'd just put a
few pounds less in the new tire, and run the old tires at the higher end
of the inflation range. Like 29, 32, 32, 32.

I'd also be more concerned about the load on the rear differential than
the ABS getting fooled... ABS isn't that sensitive unless you're mixing
a completely different tire in the mix.
