Friends: 0 |  Tire Calibration/New Size ? After reading other posts, I have not found the answer to my question.  Would someone please tell me if the Calibration function will re-calibrate for a new size 195/60/15 tire (the increased rotations per mile) to show the correct speedo/odo and GPS location? I want the tires for slightly better handling with more rubber on the road. I don't want the extra miles on the odo or drive with speedo a speed slightly faster than I am traveling. I don't know if there are wheel sensors that can measure the circumference travel and update the computer during re-calibration or if the calibration will only reset the 24.4 diameter of the stock 185/65/15 tires? Thank you in advance for the information

Friends: 33 |  Re: Tire Calibration/New Size The difference to the US standard 185 - 65h 15 is tiny so I don't believe you need to change anything. This (195 x 60 x 15 is the standard tyre size in markets outside North America except Europe where 16 inch wheels are standard. Tire Size Comparison Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference 185/65-15 . . 4.7in . 12.2in . . 24.5in . . . .76.9in . . . . . 824 . . 0.0% 195/60-15 . . 4.6in . 12.1in . . 24.2in . . . .76.1in . . . . . 833 . -1.0% Last edited by patsparks; 06-10-2008 at 02:45 PM. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Tire Calibration/New Size Yeah I guess you are right. I am worried about putting 1000 extra miles on the odo over 100,000...that will be the day that I make tires last that long. On another thread an owner states he has over 100k miles on his Michelin Hydroedges...Unbelievable. Are your tires the 195/60-15 down in OZ? I saw your mileage on another thread so I know that size won't cause a substantial hit to mpg/kpg. Cheers. |
