Smarty Jr ABS 285/75/17 setting

Wanted to give anyone with these the setting to make the correct speed on the speedo. I have 285/75/17 Nitto Terras and have the Smarty Jr ABS set to 32.70. This is spot on with a GPS.

Wow, that's different than mine! I have 285/75R17 Nitto Duras and I have mine at 33.6 and it matches my GPS. Maybe because of air pressure?

I have no idea. I thought all tires of this size would equal the same setting.

Not really, when you look at the manufacturer's data, a lot of similar sized tires have different revs per mile.

I think it's because they may have a tire that is 282 wide and the height is 73% and another tire may be 287 wide and 77% in height. Both these tires would be called a 285/75 tire. One would be an inch taller though!!!
