You have to reset the tire size in the PCM to match the physical, but the size can only be one of the factory spec sizes available at the time. It won't allow you to specify a custom size tire.
Not too sure that’s right. I run 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 - one size up from the standard 245/35/19. Have had no transmission issues, no weird gear changes, nothing.

On an 18” rim, you can run 245/45/18 with no clearance or other issues.
