Tire Size
The truck is an '01 F-250 4X4 and the sticker on the door calls for 265/75/R16 and the truck currently has 285/75/R16. Are the 285's taller or wider? If they are taller, how far are they throwing the odometer off?

The 265 is 31.65" in diameter.
The 285 is 32.83" in diameter.
Your speedo should read 3.73% lower.
I just recently went from 265/75 to 285/75 on my '02. My speedo went from reading high to reading exactly correct.
I just turned 100,000 miles indicated. Makes me wonder if I should have 3700 more miles on my engine warranty...
