Speedo Calibration

I searched a bit and couldn't find my exact answer.

I am picking up my FX4 today, it has 20'' wheels with 305/55/20 Nitto terra Grapplers on it, what is the best way to ensure the dealership calibrates the speedo? I do not want my mileage to seem off or my warrenty miles to be eaten up.

Thanks.

The difference between your Nittos and the stockers is only about an inch (32" to 33"). Do you really need your speedo calibrated for that small a change?

If you had the Superchips tuner, you could do it yourself. Otherwise, I think the dealership usually wants $85 to do a PCM flash. Now, if you're buying the truck from the dealer with these wheels/tires already on the truck, then obviously THEY should foot the bill.
