Toyota Trucks: do I need to correct my spedometer after tire change?

Roxy,

Your speedometer will be off by only a couple mph. I believe places
like off-road warehouse and other 4wd stores sell the adapters for the
increased tire size.. Your difference will be minimal. On my old truck I
went from 205 R 14 to 31 R 15 and I had about 8 mph difference at freeway
speeds.

That's kind of scary. While doing 80 on I-95 and if I'm really doing 88, the
difference in the cost of a speeding ticket goes from about $70 to $150.

Heck, my '88 2WD pickup speedometer reads a little over 4 MPH fast with
stock size tires. At an indicated 50 MPH, I'm going a little over 45
MPH. I guess that's helped keep me 'almost' legal for the past 15 years,
or so... :>))
