Speedometer recalculation

[Halfpint81]

Hey I was just wondering if anyone has a set of BFG k02 295/65r20 on their truck and wondering what tire size you set your calibrator to. I’m using a Taser DT that’s the only on that would fit to a digital dash. Thank you for the help

I used this calculator to get my tire diameter and entered the size with my Tazer. Speedo was right on after.

I went with 33” tires and used jscan to calibrate. Not sure how the taser works. I would recommend using some speedometer apps on your phone (not plugged in to the trucks usb) to compare to the speedometer. That helps with fine tuning

Okay I’ll give that a try thank you, I tried the average of all 4 tires if that doesn’t work I’ll do that

I do have gps speed app on my phone and noticed the speed was off even though the dealership said they adjusted it

I gotcha. I used three different ones to compare it to. I’m sure free apps won’t be 100%. You could also drive by one of those speed signs. We’ve got a few in the area

I just went off the Waze app MPH reading on Uconnect. Noticed right away I was off 5 mph at 60 which was exactly what the Tire Size app calculated.

I started there, and fine tuned. Guess my tires aren't quite 33" tall.

Put a level on top of the tire , level it ,and measure to the bottom of the level. That's your tire height/ outside diameter. Most tire sizes are off of what they say.
