Funny, I clicked on this thread as I was listening to 'tangerine speedo' from Good Charlotte.. and I'm glad to see no spandex has been posted lol.

We love to help here, but punctuation is your friend man.. and ours too!

Check this link out; scroll to the bottom of the page and enter your stock tire size and your current tire size. I entered the data for you, and if your speedometer is off it most likely isn't because of tire size:
