I have an 08 F150 XL 4.2l 4X2 with 265/70r/17 Goodyear AT/S running with a 3:31 gear ratio. Slow as hell and when towing 4 gear is a must lol

Did you recalibrate the speedometer to go with the bigger tires?

No not yet.... But if I put bigger tires ad getting miles per tank form the smaller tires... Wouldn't that mean I'm getting more?
