    Recently I upgraded tire size from 265/70R16 stock size tires to 265/75R16 Wrangler Duratracs (about an inch taller). The guy I purchased them from bought a Hypertech In-line Speedometer Calibrator Module which he gave to me when I bought the wheels and tires from him. He never had it installed and I'm wondering if I should. Speedometer appears to be about 1 to 2 mph slow now so it seems it may help. Just wondering if others think it's necessary with this tire diameter increase. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!IMG_0898.jpg

    If you go to the Tire Size Calculator on the left side of the Home Page you’ll see that 265-75-16 tires are 3% taller than 265-70-16. At 65 MPH indicated the taller tire will going 67. Too close to worry about.3611067C-BE1C-488E-A70E-26AFA73F2647.jpg
