    I've been on here reading ever since I ordered my truck and I should be getting it next week. I already have my suspension and wheels and tires. I realized I never came across any post about speedometer changes with the larger tires. Has anyone noticed a difference with the larger tires and how do you recalibrate the speedometer?

    what size tars? on second gens, the speedo reads a bit slow stock, so going from 265-70-16 to 265-75-16 brings it right in line where it should be

    check out this tire size calculator, it might show you where you are going to end up

    Also, There is a shop I hickory that will check the authenticity of your speedo and calibrate it for a fee."Myautomaster.com" I believe.

    I'm putting 275/70-18 on my gen 3. I didn't know if the dealer can make the change or if I had to go to a specialty shop.
