WORD?

How much is it to get a tune from him? And how do I switch back and forth between tunes?

I swear I pulled out of my street last night and a cop pulled right behind me. I haven't GPS tested the speed yet so I had no idea how fast I was going. I just kept it at 37 and he was fine with it. Then again all the local cops know the car and don't bother me...

I got the tune yesterday and haven't put it in yet. BNR usually has the best prices for tune. If you are running mismatched front and backs I don't think this will help with nannies just calibrates speedometer. I have a GPS on my radar detector so I will be able to test accuracy once I install it later.

Sweet let us know. And yeah I had incorrectly judged that the car only care about what size the rears are. It cares about both obviously and that makes sense due to abs. I thought I could get away with 60 snows up front and 50 snows in the back. Next winter I think I'll get 60s for the back.

I'll check BNR for some pricing.

Calibration is on the money

He recalibrated my speedo over a year ago. Keep the diameters within 1/2" of each other and it won't trip the service stabilitrac code.
My drag radials are a 26" diameter, street tires are 27".
