Default sct question..

i thought id ask here maybe for a simple answer rather than call...but i thought sct x3's had an option to where you can change tire size ? if so , where do i change it at? to be honest im not sure how much i went up or down in tire diameter or if changed at all ,i had the stock 17's on before with the stock pirelli's, and i now have 18's with wheel/tires measuring at 26.5 " tall ....the only thing i see on the tuner is tire revs/mph?? is there a chart to convert this or something? am i stupid and dont see it lol?

There are a few choices to obtain your tire RPM's. Tirerack.com lists most tire specs, you could try the manufacturer's website OR try this: http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp

You'll probably come up with a few different numbers for the same tire but no worry. The SCT allows you adjust it to the nearest "10" RPM's (i.e, 740, 750, 760). If you have a GPS you can fine tune it from there.

I would first check it with a GPS and make tweaks from there. you will see the options pop up when you start the flashing process. If you don't see them, then your tuner didn't enable them.
