Default Superchips Adjust Tire Size

Was wondering how to program the superchips for bigger size tires.I went from the stock 17" to 20s on y truck . The manual says to measure the tire atthe highest point, So is it as easy as just measuring the tire from ground to top of the tire and imputing that measurement. or is there a more accurate way of doing this.

Was wondering how to program the superchips for bigger size tires.I went from the stock 17" to 20s on y truck .

The rim diameter (17" or 20") means nothing, when you're using tires of an equal tire height. The tires on the 17" rims are approximately the same height (31.75") as the tires on the 20" rims. They (20") may be 3/4" taller, if that....

Since that's the case, during your questioning that you'll see in the programmer, it'll ask you, "Change tire size?"

You click "Yes" and it'll start with 31.75". To find the height of your new 20" tires on rims, just take a ruler and hold it level off the tread, and measure with a tape measure, the height from the ruler to the ground. Estimate at.....32.5".

Just hit the "up" arrow key to change the tire height to 32.5", hit "enter" and it's that simple.......
