I see this being asked alot, so I thought I'd make a post that describes why changing to a larger size of tire also changes your speedometer and odometer readings. It also explains how to determine the "correction factor" which can be used to calculate how many miles you really did travel, or how fast you are really going.
I also showed the correct method for determining the circumference of a metric sized tire (ex. 245/75/17).
Maybe this could be made a sticky if you think it's helpful??
hey guys just recently bought a titan and I am ordering some pro comps 7047 what tire size should i get I've been told from size 275/70/18 to 295/70/18????? the rims i ordered are 18x9 please help thanks
Good Morning All, Thank you in advance for your input. I have a 2007, I am considering purchasing tires that are 265/65/18 Bridgestone Dueler AT's at a very nice price. I know OEM tires are 265/70R/18. What problems if any am I going to encounter with my Odometer?
On my 08 2wd I switched from the stock 2.94 to the 3.36 gears and I also went from stock 18s (265/70s) to now running KMC 20x10s with 305/50/20s.
My speedo reads exactly 2-mph higher than what i'm actually going. This was confirmed by GPS and interstate speed trap display. So for IE... Speedo reads 60mph, i'm really going 58mph.
is there any solution for correcting the problem with the cruise control after a gear change. I drive about a 1000 miles a week I really dont want to hold the gas pedel that much
Titan Tech 659,
I put new LT 8 ply tires on my 08 T, running 65 psi. My tpms dash light is always on. When I asked the tire dealer & the stealership if the sensors could be recalibrated/replaced I was told they can't. The sensors & bcm have a set pressure span & & I believe 40 psi was the upper limit. If you have different sensors that can be installed please let me know the specs on them.
