How fast am I going w/ 285's?
Hi,
I recently lifted and installed the Revo 285's and I'm wondering if there is a formula to determine my real speed. I curios at 60mph and 80mph--I know it has to be off by a good margin--My last few tanks of gas have been on the low side to--245 miles vs. 330 before the tires. I can't say the 4Runner feels slower--maybe becuase I have a stick?

My gas mileage also now sucks, but I don't drive more than back and forth to work and on the weekends, so I don't really care too much about gas mileage.
I have 285/75/16 Goodyear MT/Rs on Tech 1 Rockcrawlers.

The exact speed
Go to the following site. It is real easy to use. Put in your original tire size and the new size and the site calculates how much your speed is out.

speed*1.073
60=64.3
70=75.11
80=85.84
Thanks for the help

One time we got pulled over in Cabo and my dad just took off!
Good thing we were driving a fast car, the VW Bug.
(Sorry about the threadjack)
