215/65/r18's are less than 29 inches in diameter and are pretty skinny for the D IMO. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can only program the computer for a combination of tire sizes 31/10.5/15, 235/75/15 or equivalent and gearing of 3.92 and 3.55. That's why if you really check into the available tuning options from Hypertech and others, they don't offer speedo recalibration (I have one for mine).

I just did. I was only 2 sizes off with my guess. Sweet. Lol. I am inclined to agree with ZCR about the speedo thing. I am not too worried about it, I run diagnostics and such with the Torque APP on my phone. It's amazing that toy. Lol. So it'll tell me if my speed is off and by how much, then I'll go from there if its worse the 10mph off.
