SCT x3 or livewire

Im gonna tune my truck soon and wanna go sct. But i cant decide between the two. Im assumig you can put custom tunes on both. Can bothe adjust for tire size? Ive never had digital gauges before and thought i might try some out. Any input on pros and cons of either would be greatly appreciated.

The livewire still has some issues and not worth taking the chance on rather or not it'll work for you. I would go with the xCal 3 and then get some gauges or get something that can do stand along OBD-II monitoring for you.

Neither will calibrate your speedometer, but they will adjust your shift points for tire size.
