I have heard in more than one occasion where people said, the odometer reading is HIGHER than the actual mileage beacause the larger tire.

Maybe Im missing something, but isnt the odometer reading suppose to be LOWER than the actual mileage when you change to a bigger tire w/ more mile/rev?

It is the other way around smaller tires will put more miles. What most people are experiencing is when they put larger than stock tires on and then check their speed with GPS they are running right on. Instead of having the speedo telling them that they are going 70mph and they are actually going 62mph(with stock)longer you have to travel to make one Rev. = less miles on the odometer. the bad part is if you run stock tires like I have (soon changing) my odometer says 64K but chances are I have approx.8% less actual miles.
