27x8.5 14 tires. Speedo is right on, maybe a little low.  These are tall
tires.

That's assuming you have the right height tires causingthe speedometer to
read accurately.  How many radar traps have you gone thorugh at that speed
and not gotten pulled over?  Officer may know something you don't.  But
then, who's complaining.  I guess the GPS units will calcuate your speed for
you as well if you're really curious.
