Speedometer reads fast

Pretty sure the stock size on my 06 Limited was 225/65/17.


So comparing the total diameter between that and your 215/70/16 is 28.52 inches vs. 27.85 inches.


Which means that your tires will make the speedo read 2.39% faster... See link below:

I do agree the difference is too big to be the tire sizes alone... See the speed example. At 62 mph on stock tire size, you're actually only going 60 mph.
