Is this an easy thing for a modern car?
I just recognized that I can take my unwanted 225/50R16 awesome tires and use them on the van which wants a 225/65R16. They are quite a it shorter, so I would want to recalibrate the speedo and odo and such, since it's the "nice" car, and Tunawife would never approve otherwise. Is this a "borrow a scan-tool and hit a few buttons" solution, or is it a " a yeah... no" sort of thing?
It's a 2011 Caravan by the way.
You know I was thinking the same thing this weekend, but more about my 95 F150 (not to hijack the thread). I'm pretty sure people don't usually cruise down MO-370 at 90 mph, but I'm usually in the P71.
Should be possible via the OBDII diagnostic solution at the dealership.
I'm not sure if you can do that with a normal OBDII tool.
dealership won't do it
indie tire shop can't do it
Next?
I know that there are Tire corrector for lifted trucks. Try a 4x4 shop?
It surprises me that no companies have come out with either a wire in or plug in signal converter. Basically a box with 2 pigtails and a knob on it to increase / decrease the signal rate.

Because playing with software calculations on a modern CAN system isn't easy.
Sure, if you have a Mustang or something it's easy. But no company is looking at hacking the ECU for MiniVans I suspect.
