another way is to go by one of those police deals on the freeway or street that tell you your speed

Many shops will check your speedo for you. AAA website has a list.

Here is a listing of popular oversize BFG All-Terrain tires with conversion constants:

Tire Size -------------Revs/mile (at 45mph) -------------Conversion Constant

30x9.50R15LT/C ---------- 705 -----------------------------------9.52
31x10.50R15LT/C ---------677------------------------------------9.14
32x11.50R15LT/C--------- 656 -----------------------------------8.86
33x12.50R15LT/C--------- 636 ------------------------------------8.59
35x12.50R15LT/C -------- 599 ------------------------------------8.09

This could help

That's ****ing hilarious. I did the EXACT same thing on Wednesday. Put on the bfg all terrains 31x10.5x15 replacing my p235/75 r15. I also installed a leveling kit. Couldn't be more happier with the way it changed the look of my truck.

It would be easy to calculate if you had paid attention in math class.

Coming from the guy with the squidbillies avatar. I'm pretty sure watching that show kills more brain cells than huffing gasoline xD

I have a PhD in engineering, so plenty of brain cells to spare, at least for now.
