In answer to the original question I’ll say this. I’d rather have the ABS with cheap tires on a new car. I want ABS and good tires on any new car I buy. With that in mind I can buy better tires and replace the stock units far easier and cheaper than adding ABS to a car that doesn’t have it.
Really, I’d rather have both good tires and ABS, but tires are replacement items and easy to upgrade.
