Default When to re-gear speedometer

having a debate and though i should ask the internet-it never lies! haha

is it worth is to regear the speedo just jumping to a 235-75-15, over the stock 225-75-15? Converted to metric they are really close in size. just wondering what everyone else thinks?


plus an interesting conversion chart:

Personally, I wouldn't waste the time or money with that small of a change in size. I went from 225/75-15 to 30x9.50-15 and it only was a 1mph off when driving 65

I wouldn't bother with 235's, but you might want to consider it going with any larger tires.

How much are you off? speedo vs. gps?

If you have a droid phone, you can use HUDY app for 'heads up display' GPS speed.
