    Hello, new to TacomaWorld. 2017 DCab TRD off-road.

    I have searched the forums before posting this question. If I put a larger tire on my Taco will I need to take somewhere to get speedometer calibrated? I have been told that some vehicles learn and adjust. Not sure how true that may be.

    Just an inch taller than factory. I was reading where this can throw my speedometer off by about 2 mph. This wouldn't bother most people but I would like it to be as accurate as I can get it.
