At this point- there is no way to correct your speedometer and other wheel speed sensors. But someday there will be a way.

Just know that you are going 5% faster than the speedo is reporting

Check out this site:

It'll tell you exactly how much the speedometer has changed. With 315's it should be 5% higher. With mine it's 7% higher.

I thought it is slower 5%.

If your speedo reads 70 you are going 73.5mph. I verified it with my GPS.

did you get those 315s installed yet? how is the rubbing / trimming going? I have a set in my garage and I can't decide whether to put them on or not.

I have a 6" lift and 315's, they rub a little while cranking the steering wheel all the way to the left.

Here's a site I like to use to figure out the speed and other info:
