Tire Upgrade ?

[LcAz]

Put the 285 70 18's on today with the lift, 18" KMC wheels (plus 18 offset) and sure enough they kiss the plastics slightly. So I removed the rear crash plate covers and mudflaps and all is good now. These Open Country AT3's are really nice but they run big at 33.74" inches. No vibration or weird anything going down the road. Running the PSI at 38 as recommended. Ride is nice.

Looks amazing. Congrats on dialing it in.

Side note on tire upgrade. I went to 33.74" tires and I checked the speed on my LC compared to waze app on my phone last night.. Im not sure how this is happening but my LC is correcting for tire size some how. At 70 mph the Waze app was also showing 70 mph. Is this possible? I always have to buy a programmer to recalibrate my speedo for tire size increases.

Had you looked at the speed on Waze before the tire upgrade? With stock 1958 tires mine shows about 10% higher on the speedo than on Waze. I think that Waze is correct.

This same thing happens on 5th gen 4runners and I think toyota already sets up their trucks for what they think people will fit.

My 4runner wasn't accurate with stock size wheels, but with 285, the speedo was now accurate. Same thing happened with my LC. When I put the 34s on, speedo was right on

no. I never checked this until last night. I was worried it would be way off. Crazy that is is spot on now.
