I dunno, but try without turning OD off and see what you get.

This was the first mod I got besides a front bumper and love it.

With speeds above 60mph it will still be advisable to turn OD off for better efficiency.

Thanks! Anything else I should know of before I pull the trigger on some tires? Pros and cons, anything associated with the flashpak, etc. etc. ?

you'll have to play around with the tire size in flashpac to get your speedometer set correctly. I have mine set for 33 1/4 for my Falkens.

What's that size from, a 285 size? I've been trying to find around a 34" size, a compromise between 33s and 35s.

I just put the gps in the window and cruise down the road and compare the speedo and gps. Come home and recal if necessary and run out again. I think I'm set at 33.25 for 35" tires.

Measured tire sizes are going to vary with wheel width and inflation rate. For every inch narrower of wheel width you run you'll pick up around a quarter inch in diameter. Wider wheels will decrease diameter at about the same rate.
