Default Speedometer/Odometer

Upgrading my tires to 32 BGF KM2 with 355 gear ratio.

I understand my speedometer will be off, so would be my odometer.
Not wanting to spend $50 on speedo gear.

As far as speedometer, i can always rely on my GPS so it wasn't much of a concern.

My concern is, would it affect my Jeep performance (PCM, transmission shift point and sensors) since it will be thinking im driving at a slower speed?
And with the odometer clocking in a lower mileage, would this (as far a DMV is concern) be a mandatory to have the speedo gear replaced?

Thx.

Yes it it will.
The PCM needs input from TCM input/output speed sensors and the VSS.
