    Default Speedo setting

    My settings for tire size were a bit confusing. The stock setting in "current tire" was 28.76 However when I put my real tire size in the width/profile/rim (275/40/17) the new tire size was 25.66 Why was the computer setup with such a different tire size? I then put my new rear gear size in and the transmission adjustment was changed to a -10.79 Is this right Sounds like the shift is either going to be softer or sooner. Something I dont is a good thing. Can someone clarify this for me?

    28.76? Good lord! What size tire is that?

    245/45-16 = approx 25.65"
    275/40-17 = approx 25.66"
    275/35-18 = approx 25.58"
    285/35-18 = approx 25.85"
    295/35-18 = approx 26.13"
    335/30-18 = approx 25.91"
    275/30-19 = approx 25.50"

    Ran the stock tun today and it ran much different. Kinda miss the shifting tweaks that you helped me with (shifting was sluggish). But never hit limiter and ran to 149 (with the no floor mat tune enabled ) Did get some KR's and will check to see where they range.

    Thanks for the help !!

    Not a problem. Sorry I didn't get that PID file to you faster. Came home early due to some family sickness.
