Speedo correction for larger tires?
When is it necessary to get a speedo correction for larger tires? I went from a 265/75 to a 285/75 both 16 inch. Would the height even change?

On your year truck, you will most likely find that with the 285's your speedo will read accurately, since most Ford superduty's actually read fast with 265's... That is what I have found with two 2000 Excursions, a 2001 F350 dually, a 2002 F350 SRW, and a 2005 Excursion.
Hope this helps!

On edit, the odometer and trip, both were affected, and require that I add 5% to the miles to adjust for the changes to the odometer when hand calculating mileage.
