SCT X4 tire size adjustment

The PCM has a minimum rev per mile setting, I recall it is 620 possible.
a 33” is about 640 rev per mile and a 35” is about 604.
if you have Forscan you trick the system by going into the ABS module and reset the Tooth count on the rear tone ring.
the rear ring has 120 teeth and the front has 60, so to keep the pcm happy and make your adjustments by a number divisible by 2.
Fine tune with your rev per mile setting.

I am not that familiar with the front wheels hubs of the RWd but on the 4x4 models the front tone rings are part of the unit bearing.
either way, the rear tone ring is 120 tooth and if fronts have ABS they will be 1/2 the tooth count of the rear.
change the setting by 10% by lowering the count by 12 teeth ...set it to 108.
now the speedo will read 10% lower...

Disclosure..... I did this to my 7.3 Ex running 37” tires with 4.30 gears, speedo is spot on and I have not experienced any known side effects in braking with the ABS system but I also do not know of anybody else who has done this mod, I saw the setting in Forscan and figured I would try it, it worked so I run it. But since it is a brake ABS setting I figured a USE AT YOUR OWN RISK statement should be thrown out there.

Just keep the ring tone number you select divesable by 2, that way the ABS module can calculate the front and compensate accordingly. At least on the 4x4 Ex the front ring tone gears size is 1/2 of the rear ring tone gear size.
fronts are 60 and rear is 120
so if you set the rear to 10% lower at 108 it will think the fronts are 54.

Let us know. I just got my usb dongle in the mail for Forscan. I have been dealing with an inaccurate speedo for a while. I was planning on programming some new keys and maybe I will re-program with the tire size while I am in there. My Toyo's are 614 revs/mile. According to this thread: https://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6346, I should be able to just input that into the revs/mile and ignore the tone ring change.
if you did need a lower rev per mile then the pcm will accecpt then changing the ring tone and or rev per mile isn’t the ticket.

perfect, I checked my speedo agains a GPS app on my phone and dialed the rev per mile so it was spot on at 65.
however at 80 mph the speedo is off a couple of mph... likely just the Accuracy of the stepper motor the speedo uses to display on the dash.... I suppose I could use Forscan to check and see what MPH the PCM thinks the vehicle is going but reality is I just want the speedo to indicate a correct speed at typical highway cruising.
