By tire roll i assume you mean that chalk on your tires and measure it BS?

In the manual it will give you the right size to adjust to for the tires.

I don't use the alarms.

I dont use the alarms. As far as the Edge being of from you speedometer, the Edge is most likely correct. My speedometer is 2 mph faster than my Edge and the Edge is correct according to GPS.

does the 2 mph really make that much of a difference?? Just leave it. When vehicles are manufactured the speedo can legally be off by like 4 or 5 mph. I'd just live with it, it wouldn't bother me too much.
