RE: Tire size with GPS
I have the same set up you do and set the tire size to 30.5 and came out dead on.

I have 285/75/16 on mine, but I had to enter 265/75/16 to get my speedo right on using a GPS.

RE: Tire size with GPS
Yes I used my GPS to get mine dialed in. From What I've heard it is the most accurate way.

Re: RE: Tire size with GPS
When you had yours set at 285/75/16 was your speedometer slower then what your GPS stated or faster?rydnhi4x4 wrote:I have 285/75/16 on mine, but I had to enter 265/75/16 to get my speedo right on using a GPS.
I used Diablo to change my tire size but it doesn't seem to have changed my speedometer at all which appears to be 2 mph slower then what the GPS states.
The truck came factory with 245/75/R16
Currently the truck has....... 285/75/R16 which is what is programmed using Diablo...
Any help is most appreciated.
RE: Re: RE: Tire size with GPS
When I used the tuner to set the 285's it didn't change it all. I just kept playing with different sizes until I got the right size which was 265/75/R16.
