Right now the speedo gear is set for stock tire size of 235/70r16 and since my winters are 255 and summers are 265 it was already off to begin with but that didn't seem to make a difference with the tune(when I had the tune made I put 255s as the tire size on Troyers order form.) Guess I'll just wait till PHP is open again and find out the details.

Thanks for the info.
Thanks for reminding me of the name. If the VSS gear makes your speed correct, then the shift points should also be correct. I'd say install a VSS, with the new gears, that matches the tires you use most of the time and live with the slight error that will be present with the others. Looks to me like you'll have only a 2% error between the 255s and the 265s.
