Re: Odomoters and Big Tires
After putting on larger tires, the speedo and odometer will show less than actual, that is 45 MPH on the speedo is actually 55 MPH and 2 miles on the odometer is actually 2.5 miles (just to throw out some numbers). On the older trannies, its a matter of changing the speedo gear to correct this. In newer vehicles it requires a new chip in the computer with the correct programming for the larger tires. Or you can be like me and do nothing about it. I enjoy that the odometer is not racking up miles as fast as it should.
