Speedometer error

If I change to tires with a very different diameter, will this throw off my speedometer? Is there a way to fix this?

Yes it will change it the speedo reading (our speedo's are off regardless though). IF it can be fixed, the dealer will have to hook it up to a computer to reprogram the ECU to recognize the larger diameter.

But I think jjashaa's right, not sure if Honda does that kind of reprogramming for the TL's
