When adding larger tires, remember to change the gears for the speedometer and odometer. I got three speeding tickets in 2000 within two months after going to one size larger tires because it through my speedometer off by 5 mph (e.g. 74 mph on speedometer =79mph shown on last ticket). I assume this would also throw off the odometer (1 mile could = 1.1 miles).
