Changing tire size using FORScan

[Benvolio]

Is it possible the factory TPS syncs with the cars computer and adjust the speedo accordingly? I'm still trying to figure how and why my Speedo and GPS speed never changed when I swapped out my premium wheels and tires (255/40-19) with a set of take off PP wheels and tires (275/40-19 rear).

I gotta say, you and I end up on a lot of the same threads lol. I just swapped my stock 255s with a set of 275/255 performance package takeoffs from Shelby American. My Speedo has been within 1 mph of my Uniden R7’s GPS speed, just like the 255s were. I don’t think the TPMS sensors are coded with wheel data though, so I’m unsure how this is possible.

@AZ_Ryan the TPMS sensors don't sync with anything other than the pressure. With that being said, I went from the stock GT PP tires on the back; Pirelli P Zero 275/40/19 to a Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 315/35/ZR20. Every GPS type device (draggy, phone, etc..) I have measure it right at the same speed ~1 mph like yours. It just might be it isn't that much of a difference. I expected it to be though, but I haven't bothered to change it in FORScan.

According to the math, we should be goimg faster than what the speedo says.

Agree. Maybe I’ll break out my draggy. It is the most accurate speed detector I have.
