Default traction control/ bigger tire?

What do you guys think about the dealer doing a computer recalibration to account for the larger tires? Would this help? I had 33's no issues and now went to the Raptor 17" wheels with 315/70/17's and and now am having a issue. They said anywhere from 1/2 to an hour to reprogram the truck? Has anyone done this? Also would this correct the speedo?
Thanks\

Brought mine in yesterday 65 dollars and NO difference. The speedo is right now but the tc still is kicking in... They said there is nothing they can do the tires are too big..

The more people take this issue back to their dealer the more likely a TSB will be issued on this and we can all get this corrected. There is strength in numbers.....
