Re: recalibrate tranny with larger tires?

change out the differential gears to compensate for the larger tires. try a company called dakota digital for the speedo recalibration, they make a module that does just that. as far as the tranny shift points, you are pretty much SOL with the auto unless/until someone makes a pigyback or stand alone computer that will be able to compensate, and it wont be cheap.
