Maximum Tire Size

With the stock 7 inch wheels, what is the maximum tire size that the Beast can wear?
When you make any tire changes other than the stock 265's, does the computer need altering?
Thanks in advance for the response. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Re: Maximum Tire Size

Many run 295's on the stock wheels and some run Goodyear 305's. I would not go any larger than these tires. With a 5% error for 295s you should recalibrate as it will throw your transmission shift points off. There are numerous posts on the subject including how to's. A surprising number of dealers either don't know how to do it or will tell you it can't be done. Forearmed with the posts from here, you can shame a reluctant or ignorant dealer into doing it, sometimes for free.
