I have a 1997 Ford Explorer that came stock with 225/70R15 and I was given 4 new 235/75R15 tires. I would like to put them on and Explorer's did have up to this tire size. Can the computer be reprogrammed to this tire size, and if so can the Ford dealers do this?

Hi:
I believe a 235 was an optional size, so it won't be a problem. Nothing needs done to the computer.
