Your problem sounds the exact opposite from what I had. I run 38" super swampers and my speedometer was 9 mi/ hr off from the factory setting ( I would be doing 70 and speedo was reading 61) then I reset the calibration. So I second Talon words. How long have you had it?? Did previous owner do something??
