Speedometer is 1.1% slower with the 255s. 32.7" to 33.1" Tire style variations make up more difference than that.
I'll plug in my 5-Star programmer and reset the tire size. Check it with my GPS.

Just wanted to bring this thread back out of hiding to see how those tires held up and wether or not you kept them? I'm debating between the 255/80/17 or 285/70/17.
