Default Re: speedometer gearing

Put your old tire size and your new tire size into the "calculator" on this site and it will tell you how much the speedometer will be off.

Your odometer will be off also if you track your gas mileage. Then just keep a close eye on the speedometer while you're driving. Much easier and cheaper than changing the speedometer gear. Not that it's a very hard job or anything but this way is totally free.

I went from a 14" stock size on my '97 Ranger to the closest size I could find in the tire I wanted and my speedometer was only off by 5%. At 60 mph it read 63. At 30 you wouldn't even notice a change. (31.5 mph)
