Ok, I have 265/75/16 on my truck. Using a tire calculator on a different site it says they are 31.63" tires. My tuner goes in .25 increments. Is this size correct and should I just go with 31.50 on the tuner?

you are probably right on without adjusting the speedo with the programmer with your tire size.
What i found was with the stock tires I was about 3 mph slow
with my 285/75/16 tires, i was about 3 mph fast,
so, with that logic, 265/75/16 should be right on the money with no adjustment.

try it with a gps and see what you come up with.

you are saying that I should adjust it with the tuner or not? The tuner goes by inches too, not tire size as in 268, 285, and so on.

your result is correct!

:think:

265mm -25% = 178.75mm
2 x 178.75mm = 397.5mm
397.5mm : 25.4 = 15.649"
15.649" + 16" = 31.649"
