Check out the tire/wheel calculator on the Rims&Tires website. All kinds of good info, including speedometer variance with off-size tires and rims relative to OEM specs. The 275's are 0.6" taller and will travel 2.2% faster than the stock 255's (100 mph vs. 98 mph) ... tell that to the nice trooper.

Happy trails.

BTW: which wheels drive the speedo ... fronts or rears?
