Noob Here - Tire Upgrade from Stock

Yup size matters. 285/70/17
But honestly those tires look good I had to go through a lot to make these fit. Looking back not sure it was worth it. Between the 3" lift and 10 ply tires,I can go anywhere I want as long as I drag a gas station with me. 15 city and 17.5 hwy avg.
So it was costly.

Those 285/70/17 are too good to pass up though! MPG what? lol.

I love em!

Glad I went with the 265/70/17 because at the end of the day… “size matters.”

That looks awesome with the white letters out on your black truck.
Old school, FTW!

Thanks dude! I debated whether or not to go white lettering out but I’m glad I did.

Hey all,

Me again.

Do you think I need to recalibrate my speedometer now that it’s off? I knew it would be off and I’ve noticed it’s about 2-3 mph off depending on speed. I don’t drive very fast and I just have to be more conscious of my speed when I’m going a bit over the speed limit.

If you recommend recalibration, what’s the best route?

If you are on the factory size, then you should be fine. If you went up in size, then yes you should to keep the Speedometer and Odometer accurate. Helps with keeping the service interval accurate and help avoid excessive speeding tickets.

Oh damn, didn’t think about odometer as well. I did go up to 265/70/17. What’s the best way to do it?

There are quite a few ways you can go about this. If you have a tune already, you might be able to use the tuner device to adjust. I was able to do this with the My Touch Calibrator from Livernoise. Others have done it with ForScan, but I don't remember the procedure for that. I would do some looking
