Default Bigger tires/Speedometer error

I have 255/65/17 tires on my truck right now. If I put on 265/70/17, would the speedometer be off by much? If so, how much would it cost to have it re calibrated? Thanks

There will be a small difference but if your aware you can compensate. The shop i went to said it would be 100$. I'm in Alberta Canada by the way. But they ended up doing it for free when i went from 245 to 285

Use this site and it'll tell you how much you'll be off.

My dealership was going to charge me $80 to have the speedo and shift points recalibrated when I did my lift/tires.
