X3 tuner question???

[053vstang]

This probally falls under the Noob category, but I just got my tuner and I have never used one, so bare with me!

Ok, I bought a used X3 tuner. Its unlocked. It has some custom tunes for a different strategy than my PCM has. I'm not worried about the tunes and dont plan on using them. I will contact AM when Im ready for my own custom tunes, I just dont have the cash for it right now.

Can I change my tire size with this tuner even thought its currently set up for a different strategy? Can I do this? Does the strategy affect the user adjustable parameters? Or will I have to have the new tire size incorporated with a new tune?

Thanks guys.

Actually, I have almost the exact same question, I'm going form 235/50R18 to 255/45R18 and I want to do the same thing with my X3. I have the revolutions per mile number, and I THOUGHT there was a way to do this with the X3, but when I plugged it in the other night I couldn't find a way to do it.

I'm going from the 17inch 235's to some 255-45-18's up front and 285-40-18's out back. I was gonna try and recalibrate the speedo with the X3. But I dont think we can do it without actually tuning the car.

I think I'm just gonna put the wheels and tires on and worry about the recalibration when I get my tune for the other goodies I have waiting to go on. Its only a tire swap, its not like I put a 4:10 in the car and have the speedo way off.
