Just curious... how long have you been driving with the incorrect tire size in your ECU?
It's never a 'free' change either... any change to the computer is minimum $100.

RE: Tire size
"55428 YES CURRENTLY PROGRAMMED FOR 245.75R16, YOU HAVE 265/75R16. AS THE DIFF IS IN THE WIDTH OF THE TIRE IT SHOULD NOT EFFECT READINGS Y"
RE: AC much colder on passenger side.
"55428 INSPECT RIGHT SIDE VENTS AT 42DEGREES AND LEFT SIDE AT 346DEGREES. CHECKED AC OPERATION OK, SYSTEM CHARGE AND PRESSURE OK. NONE TAKEN, THIS IS A NORMAL OPERATION AS PER CHRYSLER."
Bottom line. (Warning: this will be boring)
1. They do not know how to read tire diameters....or they didn't really care. Oh well, I tried to get a (free) computer change on the tires and it fell on deaf ears.
2. The AC in my Wrangler sucks, I'm surprized that there would be such an allowable difference in temp. Unfortunately they made the passanger side cooler. It only works on warm days, and not hot days. I feel sorry for you guys in AZ and Texas. Don't accuse me of crying about the AC until you've been in 100 degree weather.
3. I did get out the door for only 50 bucks, and got a clean bill of health which may help on the lifetime warantee if I ever need it.
4. I'm glad a few got a chuckle out of my report.

Oh, by the way, you would be surprised at what you can get for free if you find the right situation.
The A/C that is. I live in AZ.
