2019 Longhorn 1500 hemi and eco mode (questions)

[Mikefs234]

So I just switched from Bridgestone dueler highway tires to Vredestein Pinza AT tires. Premise for this was I tow a boat and the tires on the truck did nothing for me when putting the boat in or taking it out of the water. Very steep boat ramps where I boat and wanted a tire that had very good wet traction along with good snow traction. So my question comes from after having the tires put on, my takeoffs from a stop seemed lazy, not crisp shifts. Was reading a post on here about eco and how the truck learns your driving habits and makes adjustments to what it considers your normal driving. I went and followed the post on resetting the adaptive driving of the pedal and throttle, sorry if it’s called something else but that is how it’s put with BMW’s. I am here to say, this resolved the issue and now….smooth, crisp shifts. Is this something that should be done when putting on new tires? Seems to be the thing to do,at least in my case. Any thoughts on this?

My thoughts on this:
My tire change (same size, different manufacturer, went to more aggressive all-season tire) yielded zero difference in throttle response and shift points.
If the tires are the same size and approximate rolling resistance (inflation, compound, etc.) there shouldn't be any noticeable difference, but stranger things have happened.
Now, if it helped you, then maybe that's the optimal process to follow.

Rolling resistance seems to be a big difference. Size tires are the same, but I think the resistance is much more, loss of 3 to 4 MPG.

resetting the adaptive driving of the pedal and throttle. I missed this post. Exactly what is the pocedure?

Disconnect your battery and drive it like you stole it, anything else you do is pointless and will not change shifts for examples.

This is what I got from a thread here
