bigger tires, tranny shift points?

RE: bigger tires, tranny shift points?
Just wanted to post an update. I got my Superchips tuner Friday and of course had to play with my new toy. When I got to the part where it asks if I want to change tire size and I said yes, it showed 28" as a starting point. Now I'm not sure if that was just a generic number in there, or if that's what it read the OEM was from my stock program. Anyway I changed that to 31", and used the 87 octane tuning, and am very pleased so far. I think I might have to play with the tire size though because on the expressway this morning it seemed like I was going slower than expected. I'll have someone set there cruise at 70 and follow them to compare though first. The truck drives and shifts much smoother now. I switched in the middle of fill-ups, but already noticed some change in mileage. I've been getting 13.5-14 mpg since November with combined highway/city. Just filled up this morning and got 15.37, and that was more city than normal. Will update again with next fill up.
