Default New Tire Size Speedometer Fix or Chart

Can anyone tell me if there is a chart to figure out the actual speed of my Jeep after installing new tires? Is this something that is a hard fix in the comp or can it be reflashed to be correct again? Thanks in advance for any help.

Here's a website where you can figure out the changes. There's also an iPhone app for it

+1 on the ProCal. If you just want to adjust your speedo then the Procaomp is a cheap solution. About $150 and it can also adjust your TPMS settings among a few other things.

Doesn't help with TPS reports, though.

I picked mine up used for cheap and really like it. I've reset:

- TPMS (to zero with my aftermarket wheels)
- gear ratio
- tire size
- OTLC (one touch lane change)

I think that's all.

Just a caution that most of these are tied to a VIN number. Some can be released by removing the modified software; some require a payment to the manufacturer to get the VIN released. Do some research on any you might chose and don't buy one that might still be tied to a VIN (such as from a sketchy source on eBay).

Right. I bought mine from a friend.
