Changing tire size question

Going from 275/65/18 to 275/70/18 does the speedometer have to be recalculated for the difference in size? My dealer said on the 2011 F-350 the parameters are within tolerance it doesn't need it.Anyone on here done this tire change?Thanks.

If you have a GPS check it before and after. When I went from stock 265/75/16 to 285/75/16 my speedo was dead on accurate according to my GPS.
