Default Adjusting speedo to new tires

Ok I just got set of 20's and some new tires. They are 275-65-20. Does that not work out to be a 34" tire. Isn't that what I should adjust my speeedo and outlook monitor to? Please help

Yup ... I would actually measure the tire though, in most cases the tire size metric or standard that is given, is never the actual diameter ... You have a bullydog, does it have a gps speed senor app on it???

Hope this helps a little

I Doubt the outlook has the gps speed, I guess it reads from the obd and he speedo? But I do have them both set on 34" and they are reading different... Hmmm???

(275*65)/100=[178.75(2)]/25.4=14.07480315(+20)=34.07480315" tire. Ive heard you can plug into the truck with a good chrysler dodge scan tool and change it. Not sure tho...
