I know many have thought about it, but no one has asked about it.
So here we go.
Stock tires are 245/75/16
245 Tread width
75 Wall height
16 Rim size
My question is this, buy changing the tire width how does this affect the speed?
I could understand this if I were to change the wall height but I don't understand why when change the tire width.
Looking at the sticky for the Tire Calculator is what started me thinking about this.
By placing 265/75/16 on my truck the calculator says my speedo is off by 3.9%. Tire hight is the same so how can this be?
I've been trying to figure this one out.
