Online Resources

If you have any links to online resources for info on tires, wheels and suspension, please post them. I am interested in putting some 35x12.5 on my F350. I want to educate myself first. I bought the truck used with 33x12.5, but noticed that a mile on the road didn't equal a mile on the odometer. The spare is the original 235/85/16. What steps do I need to take to rectify this. Also, am I going to affect the rear ABS? Will these tires fit without modifications? There must be resources to all this info...?

Have someone clok you at a steady speed like 60MPH and note your spedo reading.

Calculate a ratio of the real speed vrs your spedo speed.

Pull the speedomoter gear and count the teeth. Multiply the ratio times the number of teeth on your gear and go to a Ford dealership and get the right spedo gear.
