Default Bigger tires and Speedos

Yes but lager tires will give you a false lower speedometer reading, based off past experience my guess would be about 5mph off.

Ex. Speedo shows 70 but really doing 75.

My old Isuzu Trooper with 31" Swampers (tires were actually 33")
was really going 78 when the speedo read 70. I confirmed those numbers with handled GPS and a speeding ticket going down 210 bridge.
