Default odometer change with 275x35x18's?
Will I need to calibrate the odometer due to changing the series..?
Thanks!

They are the same height as 275/40/17. No speedo correction needed.

Actually, they are a hair smaller. But the diff. is so small it doesn't matter.

True When you calibrate a speedo you are lucky to get within 1% across the gears and speed ranges. The difference is 0.3%, way inside the accuracy of measurement.

well thanks for the insight guys! I just wanted to make sure that I am not adding extra miles to my ride. That would suck!
