Default 31s speedo gear?

stock tire from the door sticker is 215 75 R15 diameter 27.7"

new tires are General Grabber AT2s 31x10.5 R15 diameter 30.8"

31x10.5/15 = 267/76/15

3.1" difference. The speedo on GPS is between perfect and 3mph slow on expressway. But the calculators say it should be 10.7% slow.

Question is what gear should I replace the stock one with?

My plan is to start tracking 1 tank of gas with the phone GPS and compare the miles to my trip and take that percentage difference. Right now for mpg I am only adding 5% to the miles, because I don't think its 10% off.

Check speed with GPS to verify % difference.

Gear speedo tables are posted everywhere.

I think you need a 32 tooth gear. You have a '98 XJ? I have a couple of gears, but they're long shaft. I suppose your gear is the short shaft.
