How the manufacturer sets up the ABS can make a difference...maximum deceleration is achieved with the tyres "slipping" at between 10-30%..ie the tyres are turning 10-30% slower than they would if no brakes were applied. Maximum steering control is when the tyres are not slipping at all. So you have to choose your compromise.
Porsche set their ABS quite aggressively on some models - you can hear their tyres chirping at full ABS braking.
