im not sure what kind of difference it will make to the accuracy of your speedo, but if your not sure and wanna get it check out i recommend Mr.Speedometer. you can look them up in the phone book, they deal with just speedo's!

you could buy a hypertech power programmer 3 and that will do it. it can also change shift points and take away the speed limiter.

50 for a speedo check - not calibration.

Post your old tire size and new one - that way, I can find out the difference in speed. Usually its very very minimal.

The difference on 4X4s tends to be a lot bigger, because it generally isn't a couple millimeters of rolling diameter being added with bigger wheels, its a couple of centimeters or more.
