Tire size & speedo

Have been researching tire options from this site and others for a couple of months. Have learned a lot but still need a little help. My OEM 265/70/18 tires are shot and I have experienced the same problems as everybody else. With the stock OEM's my speedo is off 2 mph. At 73, I'm going 75. The odometer is off as well and for every 10 miles it is off .5 miles to the negative. Will going to slightly smaller dia. tire such as a 275/65/18 bring the speedo and odometer back in line or exaggerate the difference?

This an incredible site and cudos to all who participate!

Re: Tire size & speedo

The new tire size would make your spedo read 60 when it reads 59 now so the problem would be worse by 1.6%.
