    Speedo error & TOD issue

    BFG T/A KO 265/70R17 (31.6")

    Trimming front and back (I have 0 offset on the rims)

    I get about a 10% error 60mph at guage, 66mph on GPS.

    The bigger tires also throws my TOD a bit wacky on hard accelerations.

    I also noticed at Moab that the bigger tires really liked to scrape in the inside wheel wells when on 3-wheels (I'm not lifted )

    Cheers
