2003 fx4 Tires
I Have a chance to get some used 265 65r-17 Faulken Wildpeaks free. My truck has 265 70r-17. I know the speedo will be off a little, but will it matter much?

Very minor difference, if any at all.

Wild guess is about 2 to 2.5 miles hour more. That is what mine are on a set of 17" when I did that change.

You’re speedometer probably reads about a flat 3 mph high from the factory-I know my truck does. That will even things out if the above is true.
