Default New tires. 2" shorter. Need your help.

I installed my 20" wheels with a slightly shorter tire last night. The truck loves to sit on the limiter before shifting now. Is tire diameter the only thing I need to change in the tune?

Thanks in advance!

change the tire size so it adjust all the trans shifting tables.

The rpm/mph will probably be off as well...

Where before if you were wanting to shift at say 6000rpm/55mph now 6000rpm would be at 50mph...

I have efi live so the tire size will fix the shift tables and everything correct?

Seems to be what I am getting from this but just want to make sure.

It's an option for HPT also. When you change the tire size there is a check box to also scale the trans tables. Does a decent job from what I have seen so far

Both HPT and EFI will auto scale I believe, as mentioned above HPT just has a box you check to do so.
