crhemi you need to take it to the dealer. They will be able to get the program changed for the tire size so that your speedometer can be correct

Is it possible to take my 2006 touring to the dealer and have them program the speedometer for 22s?

there are very limited choices for tire size that the dealer can program for your car. i usually program the closest size available compared to the new tires.

Ok, now not only do I feel cheated - I am confused.

- New Pull Cups... not fair!
- New AUX input... so not fair!
- New Tire Pressure Monitoring System... I only dream mine had one. If I did, how would I find out?

- New Machined 17" Wheels... now here's another question - I have those. What gives? Mine is a 2005 Touring.
