Jeep Gladiator Rubicon tires in South Africa

No, not yet. I postponed it till tomorrow morning. I have a feeling that transmission shift points have to be adjusted together with speedometer but I'm total newbie so it is just short research and feeling from a ride with new tires.

Ok so recalibration is done. I don't feel any difference, maybe gears shifting bit smoother but getting on 8th gear is not any easier. What dealer mentioned is that if transfer case is gone or anything what can be impacted by different tire size the first thing they check is if tires were changed and recalibrated by authorized service; If not then warranty is gone. My car is still on warranty for another 3 years this is the reason I didn't do it on my own...

Some feedback. Had the 285/70R17 BFG AT KO2 fitted. Much quieter ride and smoother. No issues but will go have the calibration checked soon. No issues with rubbing either.

I think you ought to read the fine print and see what a lawyer would say.
It seems fishy to me.
Also how can they tell if a dealer programmed in the new tire size or not?

I feel like the dealerships are using scare tactics etc...
Same here in Germany and when you the dive into the subject you realize it is a mud pit full of snakes.
Dealership here tells you even an oil change needs to be done by them as to not void the warranty. And it simply is not so.
