    Talking to tech support from Hypertech, reading Tacomaworld forums, and watching YouTube post after post I programed the Hypertech tuner to read new tire diameter in actual inches instead of using tire factory nomenclature. Now, since I'm rather ignorant about this stuff, I am assuming that when entering tire data into the Hypertech tuner if the old tire size is known does a person enter the factory spec diameter? Common sense tells me that is what is done due to the fact that the old tires are not on the truck to get an actual measurement. I then entered the new tire size in average actual diameter (lfom top of rubber to the ground) as discussed on forums tech support, and from YouTube videos. Any comments?

    I think that's probably a good move. Nothing you can do if you don't have the old tires to measure.....that said, the true OD gets smaller as the tires wear, so it's all an estimation anyway.

    I'm looking at going the Hypertech route sometime sooner than later (just put 33s on mine) and I think I'm going to go with the nominal OD sizes.....so 30.6" for the OEM 265/70/16s and then 33.1 for the new 255/85/16s

    Something makes me doubt even Toyota has different calibrations for different tire sizes since there are several OEM tire sizes on the different trims.

    As long as you're getting pretty close, that's about as good as it'll get

    Stop trying to over-engineer this. Input the closest measurements you can. Go for a drive with a GPS. Make adjustments as nessecary.

    You're right! As a retired engineer I do have a tendency to over analyze.

    I used the hypertech on mine. Was an easy enough install considering you have to go behind the gauges.

    That green connector is a picture of the 2016-2017 model #730123, the 2016-2018 model #730123 does'nt have it. I just bought one and after removing my speedo cluster found one already there. After I program mine, I'll test the older unit ...... might make a deal for someone! I'm guessing the first owner did'nt program it correctly.....

    I’m using the Rough Country version and it uses the Hypertech module and app. I put tire size in inches and it’s dead on with Waze

    Did your mpg estimates change as well? Does it work with adaptive cruise control?

    Yes, my mpg's adjusted as well as my shift points. I'm pleasantly surprised how it changed. I now have a spare Hypertech, listed on craigslist (springfield,mo)
