Against everyones good advice, I upsized my tires

Correcting the error would get mathematically involved - and I doubt you could find a set of standard gears for an exact correction of it anyway. Know what we used to do in the old days ? Have a friend drive in front of you at a set speed, and check what the error on the speedometer is - then you will know ! Then you simply correct for the error when driving. In your case, the speedo will actually read a bit slower than you are actually going, since the tires will make less revolutions per mile....

same idea- brought into the 21st century, and thereby avoiding the inherent inaccuracy in your friend's speedo:

use a handheld GPS to find your TRUE speed-- and proceed as above-- correct as you drive!

Yup, Just borrow a Garmin GPS and get your true speeds at 25,

Try this site.It will give you the percentage the different size tires will be on your speed???

No way does he have to "RE-Gear" the rear end if he only went up one size.Not even 2 sizes. No braking improvements needed,either;but better pads/braided hoses are always nice.

All you really need to do is >Go to a Speedometer Calibration Shop

umm-- Duh?

Of course I was addressing the accuracy of his speedo, only.

bigger

regear

I was referring to SnoMan?s reply,not Burntcat?s......

Or leave it and consider it an extended warranty :)
