Speed Calculation w/ 32's

It doesn't look like I am going to have my tuner reset by the time my 32's are installed, so how far off will my speedometer be. Currently running stock tires and the new tires are 32's.

Thanks for the help!
Mike


p.s. I did search.

I have an X-Cal 1, so I can't redo it, I will have to send it in to someone to get retuned.
Zach, I'm not worrying, just wondering.

I personally think its more accurate the way it is now. I have adjusted my speedo with the xcal and everytime I passed one of those speed signs they clocked me 10% slower than I was going. When I set my speedo to stock with 32s the speed signs have always been fairly accurate.

To answer your question though, I have noticed about a 10% change in the speedomoter readings (basing it RPMs).

When I'm doing 50 on my speedo I'm really doing 55.

When I went to my 285's, my speedo says 70mph when I am really going 74mph. I was drinving by a speed sensor on cruise control.
