Dumb Superchips question, please advise. - 7/16/2007 7:14:42 PM    Hardcharger Posts: 163 Joined: 12/12/2006 Status: online I know this has probably been answered multiple times on this forum.  When determining tire size for the Superchips Flashpaq tunes on a 5.7L Hemi, is it best to measure and eye ball it to the crown of the tire, or actually calculate it using one of the various metric converters posted by many of the upstanding pillars of this forum?
