New Tires
I purchased new tires yesterday on a whim. The couldn't stand the old.
The new tires are Dueler Revo AT's, 235/85/R16 load range E. So far, so good. I have only put about 70 miles on them.
They are 32.1 inches tall, Bridgestone says they turn at 649 RPMs.
The old tires were ProComp All Terians, 285/75/R16. Load range D, never will buy load D tires for a Cummins agian. These things were almost shot before I had 39,000 miles on them.
They are 32.9 inches tall. This is what the truck is currently set to run with. I don't know how many RPMs they turn at. The same size Bridgestone tire turns at 631 RPMs.
Should I expect my spedometer to be about 2-3 mph off?
Thanks,
Cjthor

Plug in your tire sizes to see how far off your readings will be.

Looks like @ 60 mph you'll be 2.08 mph off.

E range tires

Besides actually being a round tire,the M-55's handle the camper weight super. Really pleased. As posted a slight singing between 40-50 mph but nothing that these noisy suckers can't drown out.
