What PSI are you running in the 35's? In my setup tire pressure make a huge difference in MPG.

Yeah, it changed the numbers, not your MPG or performance...it may say 13.6 but, in reality it is somewhere in between those two numbers...Your Jeep's CPU thinks it is running a much smaller tire, same reason why your spedo is off... Wish I spoke propeller head so I could explain it better.

it recalibrates, not tune. And yes, I am getting 15 mpg after I recalibrated for the 37" KM2's and 5.38 gears. Was getting about 10 mpg prior.

prob not worth buying honestly. for anyone with 35" or larger tires then I'd say yes if you own an '11 or newer model

esp good with a '12 and 3.73 gears. You can run up to a 35" tire with that ratio without too much worry on the '12's. For just .5" larger tire I'd save the $150 towards other mods.
