Not sure what kind of phone you have, but if it is Android, get this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...edometer&hl=en

Reset your tire size, add about 5 points to whatever you were using.

Once you load the tune with a "customized" tire size, it stays there, UNLESS you reopen the "Custom Options menu". If you do that and go immediately to the Tire Size entry, it will load a "placeholder value" that is normally way too small. The key is to scroll to "Reload Previous Settings" IMMEDIATELY upon opening the Custom Options menu. Then, you can scroll to Tire Size and you'll find the value you set (almost). There will be a small difference in the value displayed because of internal rounding by the programmer. It is a difference you can ignore.

Thanks Jack. I knew it was some weird name that retained the settings but could not think it.
