27x8.5 14 tires. Speedo is right on, maybe a little low. These are tall tires.

That's assuming you have the right height tires causingthe speedometer to read accurately. How many radar traps have you gone thorugh at that speed and not gotten pulled over? Officer may know something you don't. But then, who's complaining. I guess the GPS units will calcuate your speed for you as well if you're really curious.
