CSV, I'm running the 295/70/17's and yes you'll need to recalibrate other you'll have all sorts of problems with ESC kicking in - ask me how I know. Depending on your engine and gearing you'll notice a hit to performance as well. I've got the 3.8L auto with 4.10 ratios and I noticed a big hit to power, especially with long winding uphill sections of the highway.
