Xcal and TCS
I plan to change the width of all four tires and make the back wider than the front but the ones I'm looking at don'tmatch exacly with the same diameter of the front
so when using the Xcal2 do you enter in both the front and back wheel size or just one wheel size

RE: Xcal and TCS
With the ones I'm looking at the front would have a total outside tire diameter of .07 inch greater than the front
and rear would be 1.13 inch greater than stock
and I know only rear matters for speedo correction but TCS looks at front to rear diff in rotations

RE: Xcal and TCS
the LSD is what turns both rears and is analog so changing tire size as long as L&R match LSD is fine
TCS is different it works off of the ABS sensors and compares front to back tire rotations and when the rear is turning to much faster than the front (like in a burn-out) it pulls timing out to reduce Torque so that the car will start moving instead of just spinning
LSD will put two rubber tracks down and TCS will help you prevent losing control in rain
when TCS kicks it a light flashes on the dash
you must turn off TCS to do a burn-out
LSD uses clutches in the diff
and TCS is computer controlled
if you don't know don't answer
I try not to be rude but I don't like having to explain how something works when I want to know a finer point of it

RE: Xcal and TCS
Why don't you go out and actually plug your xcal in to see if you can even do front/rear size? Would be the simple thing to do because your so much smarter than me. If your goign to be a dick, I will to

RE: Xcal and TCS
I'm asking for info on the Xcal capabilities not info on the operation of the TCS
I know how many things work but I have no experience with the Xcal

but I still try to plan out what I will do and gather info needed to do so
Sorry if you felt insulted but you didn't answer my question
