I noticed that going from 265 to 285 I lost 2mph. In other words, my speedo says I'm going 60, but I'm actually only going 58. I know you can get a tuner like PCMForLess, and correct it, but I haven't gotten around to it.

Odd - it should be the other way around???? Bigger than stock tires = going faster than what the speedo says.

well, going from 30" tires to 31" tires speedo that shows 60 mph, you are actually going 62 mph.

I have 265s as stock, from reading there is nothing I need to do to put the 285s on, correct?
