Smarty and odometer?

Anybody know if tire change calibration makes your odometer and mileage correct? Just thinking about my hand caculated fuel milage and curious how accurate my milage is after adjusting my tire size with the Smarty?

I dunno, but to add to that...

hmmm, super huge tire size added by the smarty so that your mileage only goes up say a tenth over a real mile. hmmm,

One benefit of the Smarty speedometer calibration comes into play when dealing with speeding tickets..

Might take some trial and error, as not all makers of 35" tires make them 35".

If you have a GPS to check with, you can dial the Smarty calibration dead on.

Oh, it is. I have a gps up full time in my truck. That's what I used for speed before the Smarty. I just didn't know if indeed it take care of the odometer as well although I assumed it did. Good advice though. Thanks for everyone's input. Guess I'm driving too fast. Fuel economy not too good.....thought with the 35's lowering my rpm's I'd do a little better. It actually stayed about the same.....maybe a little less even, but I drove a little faster on average this trip.
