they can calibrate any size you ask them to, but you will have to get the
rotation speed for the tire. the figure is the number of revolutions the
tire makes at 45mph. to set the amount, they will need to go to the "other"
option. if the dealer tells you they can't do it, they are lying. there's
an option for inputing custom sizes.
however, the largest size them made for the 98's was was 721. The
235/75R15's on my 4x2 are at 728 (just barely over the minimum)..

You could probably have the dealer re-calibrate your computer -- they
can only choose stock sizes, but my '00 Dak came with 31x10.5x15 tires
stock, so it should definitely be possible.
