Factory size is 265/70 16. The speedo will only be off a tiny bit. Maybe a mph or 2 at most. There isn't much difference in the two tire sizes and I don't think it's worth it.

entirely not worth it.

when your speedo reads 60, you'll be doing 62.

Will changing your gear ratio affect your speedometer or anything? Also, does anyone know the speed and rev limiter that a 2004 4.7 comes with?
Thanks
