bigger tires= speedometer problems

HI guys, I was just wondering, when you put bigger tires on a truck does that make your speedometer read slower than your actually going, or does it make it read faster than your actually going. Thanks for your help.

When you install a bigger tire it takes a longer distance for the tire to actually make one revolution......therefore your speedo will read slower and odometer will record less miles.
