    Do not depend on the online tire calculators. With 265/70-16 BFG ATs my speedo was supposed to be just 4% slow according to the calculator. Laser said different. I got a GPS and it agreed with the cop's laser.

    also ,the tire calculator shows a different size than the actual tire size. it shows the tire at 31.5 " and the height is really 31.38 " .so the speed is off from what it tells you. and there is also the amount that the speedo could have been from the factory. the only way to know for sure is radar or gps. shawn
