Do I need to get my Speedometer recalibrated?
So I went from having P265/70R17 tires on my truck and changed them out to P275/55R20's and I was wondering if I should have the speedometer recalibrated so the shift points and such are still proper?
|
Also I should mention my truck 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 ST

Tire is barely more than a quarter inch taller, nah won't make a bit of difference to the transmission.
Difference on the speedo won't even be enough to mean the difference of getting a ticket or not... |
If you have a smart phone, get you an app that reads speed and gor a drive. See if there is a difference between what it says and what your speedo says. Decide from there.

Just what hammerZ71 said James - a couple 10ths of a mph at 62 mph/100kph

Discount tire has a calculator
http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos looks like you tire changes makes about a 0.62 mph diff. old tires 65 mph new tires 65.62 Not worth the time to change, imo. |
Thanks everyone. Means I'm just going to leave it alone.

not to hijack this thread, but i presume the trucks have something to compensate for what wheels/tires the come with since the difference beween at 265/70-17 and a 275/60-20 is even bigger?
programming or a different gear somewhere? |

don't waste your time and as soon as the tire gets a 1000 miles on it, it will be the same size as the stock tire. some tires run tall and some short so you are chasing your tail
