My dealer said they CAN adjust up to 315's. Dunno what the difference is between Ford dealers?

I think... all they really do is change something in the rear differential that makes the computer think it's a 315 tire. Not sure.

it's in the ABS module in the front, I had asked Jody (DP-Tuner) about adjusting it with the PCM, and he can't do it. So it's either take it to the dealer, or buy a Superlift Tru-speed and do it yourself

315's are about a 35" tire, or close to 600 revs per mile. The ABS module can recognize down to 601 revs per mile, so a 35" tire is the largest you can program into the system. Your dealership was just too lazy to look up the proceedure.
