I'm looking at getting a new Camaro, and I don't know if it has 225s or 235s on it. I have 255s on my current Camaro, which I am going to transfer over to the new one (if I can get it). If the new Camaro has 225s on it, the 255s will be the wrong height. Does anybody know if dealerships can reprogram the PCM for different side tires, or do only aftermarket places do it? Thanks.

255 is the width of the tire. this will ot mess anything up. the second number on the tire is the heigth -

True, but the second number is a percentage of the first, so the width does matter [img]smile.gif[/img]
I talked to my dealer about reprogramming and they told me they'd be happy to do it for gears or tires or whatever, they just dont' know what to reprogram it to.
They told me to get a VIN with the programming i want(ie: 3.42 gears from a y87 car) and they'll do it happily.
If there is a powerprogrammer for the year you're buying that's always an option, or if you're cheap like me, drive beside someone in a car you trust the guage at various speeds and remember how they equate to yours [img]smile.gif[/img]

The car I'm looking at has 235s on it, which is what my current Camaro has. After I went to the 255s, it's running at higher rpm, so I know the tires are a bit shorter, and that's what I need to reprogram to compensate for.Wife and a dog, they both think they\'re Kujo.<br /> <br />1999 3.8 A4 Y87<br />Navy Blue Metallic<br />BFG G-Force KDWS 275/40/17s, <br />WS6 Wheels (17x9)<br />Phoenix Transmissions 2400 Stall Converter<br />FRA, Holley Powershot filter, Whisper Lid, Ported Throttlebody<br />2000 manifolds, Flowmaster, WS6 Tail Pipes, <br />MSD 8.5mm Wires, MSD Coils, Autolite plugs<br />Performance Cryogenics treated rotors<br />1LE Sway Bars and panhard rod, 1LE front springs w/SLP Bilsteins, stock rear springs w/ 3rd Gen Bilsteins, BMR STB, KBDD SFCs, 1LE rear lower control arms, 1LE front lower control arms<p>1968 Chevelle Malibu 327 TH350Comment
