Default speedometer

does anyone know if these electronic speedometers can be recalibrated if you change tire sizes?

Not that I have read. Onlyadvise I can give you is to stay close to the original tire diameter if you have concerns about the speedo. Most speedos run fast so a larger tire diameter might even bee more accurate but keep the difference from stock around 10% (mm)or less I would say! Care must be given if you have anti lock brakes or traction control. Otherwise just a speedo error would be the problem!!

Yes they can....but it is not the speedo itself that has to be changed...It is in the computer. A shop that deals with speedo repair and calibration could do it...but the dealer can do it up to a point...they can change the data to the computer and enter the new...not sure if all tire/wheel sizes can be done....
