Then again the fast reading Speedo makes mpgs appear artificially high. My phone's GPS agrees with those radar signs and my Speedo, with the 30x9.5's at both 30 and 65mph. | | | Re: Does anyone know? | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 | With the 31's our GMC is doing 60 or 61 and only reading about 55. Checked against the GPS. The odometer is off by about 10%. 100 miles will read out at about 90 miles. | | | Re: Does anyone know? | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 9,854 Likes: 8 Festerus Vannimus | OP Festerus Vannimus Joined: May 2007 Posts: 9,854 Likes: 8 | Went with a new set of 30x9.50x15s for now, speedo is spot on and it rides great. . . .now I just have to get some sound deadener to help get rid of the “interior of a gas can†sound it has while driving on a bumpy road.

Does that answer your question Kanon8 ?
