The dealer can only adjust so many revolutions per mile up & down with the DRB
III. It's not even enough to compensate going from say a 31x10.50 to a 33x10.50
(I was gonna do this and they let me know that they couldn't adjust it through
the comp, luckily I have a 97 with the Speedo-gear however). You can however
by a Hypertech power programmer (or something similar) and it will let you
adjust for any size.
