It's time for some new tires and I'm thinking of stepping up slightly from the 245's that are on my truck, maybe a set of 265/75 or even go for the pizza cutters for driving in the snow out here and get a set of 235/85R16's Either way that I decide to go my speedometer will be off a bit and I was wondering what I could do about correcting the speedometer after I get my tires on.

I forgot to say, I have the automatic transmission.
 
I'll look later and get you the name of a neat little box I have on my truck (which I can't for the life of me remember right now) that splices into the wiring harness, you can adapt the speedo to read correct with the "pizza cutters" to 44" bog cutters :D
 
Okay, had a brain wave come through and remembered LOL

That's the same one I have on my truck and with a little playing on the drive down with a GPS I now have a speedo that is about .3mph fast :D Over the course of a 218 mile leg of the journey down here to Titusville the odometer and the GPS disagreed by just under 1 mile. Kinda pricey at $145, but still cheaper than most good speeding tickets.
