I've since done a bit more experimental testing about how the VDIM system learns/calculates wheel speeds and I may end up amending my thoughts on that. You're right though, from my previous testing it did seem that with a square setup on the IS350 that VSC/TRAC tended to get a bit overactive. There is the possibility that with a VDIM reset that the car may in fact learn the wheel sizes correctly. Can't confirm that yet.
