Is it possible to reprogram speedometer to compensate for larger tires?

why would you have to reprogram the speedometer?
ESP module is where the problems are with larger tires

Is it possible to reprogram the ESP module to compensate for the larger tires? My speed is always a few mph off and would like it to be correct.

Been there, done that on a bmw and never again!
Here's what you're gonna expect. Due to the slightly bigger tire rolling circumference, you'll get less number in the odo versus the actual miles traveled. MPG will be off and built in Navi (if equipped) is messed up.

Not worth it, IMO.

Less miles on the ODO sounds great for your warranty though!
