mileage meter and larger tires
Hi, I have just gone from 225/75R16 to 235/85R16 tires (with new wheels) Will this throw off the miles per gallon calculation of the scangaugeII?

The system will relearn faster it you reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery then pressing the brake for good measure, then reconnect and let it idle a bit.
But by now it has probably relearned anyway.
Good report! What tire pressures are you running?
Class C's frequently blow out or delaminate the inner rear tires first. My theory has always been they get less cooling, heat up more, then take on extra weight due to the higher running pressure.
My answer that seems to have worked is to find the OEM spec for how close in pressure the dually tires are supposed to be to the same pressure, and run the outters a bit higher and the inners a bit lower, staying within the OEM spec.
I still delaminated the inners first so I did not mitigate the effect entirely, but I had great handling and wind stability, and the inexpensive commercial tires I had, ran 7+ years including 3 on hot hot Texas roads before delaminating.
