i was gona do a ittle bit of sums to work out the speed inaccuracy if it had 235/75r16s originally it will be reading....... 9.9% out so if the speedo is reading 60mph you will be doing nearly 66mph

Speedos usually overstate your speed so with the bigger tyres on it won't be as far out as you think as it will have been wrong even with the standard tyres on.
