Any Colorado Forum users willing to help reprogram tire size? (Forscan)
I've read the guides, i'm just not having any luck.. Anybody in Colorado willing to meet up?
Bonus : Anyone know of any good spots for mudding in central or southern Colorado?

I will be honest, I am having a hard time with that as well. I am well versed in Forscan. But calculating tire size to the correct code to enter has me wondering......not even sure if changing it would make a difference for me. I went to a 275/60/20 from stock 275/55/20. Speedo is off 1-2 mph according to GPS.

I have reprogramed (thru the dealer a ) over the years an 02/07/10 & an 11.....
I basically have changed usually either 1 tire size up or & also P metric to LT tires with a 1 size difference. 18'' to 17'' etc.............Everything comes back 2 mpg SHORT.....(in my case 1.7km short in 100km)....
I have read in these forums 2-3 times the same thing where an op had his his truck in for a recalculation of the computer to facilitate a tire size change (usually 1 tire size) & it is out exactly what you say ....2mpg !!

Hypertech, Rough Country, etc make calibrators for sale for about $140-150. Probably about the same cost as driving up to CO all in and you can adjust it for any future changes. Just thinking out loud here

I used this online active calculator to find the code to enter. Got my truck to within 1/2 mph at 50 mph. Checked it against several different GPS units. KM
