Default Seems speedo is off.

I got a 99- 04 predator tuner.. I set the rear end axle ratio to 3.90 and the tire revs to 822 ( my actual tire is 821 as on nittos site but the predator goes from 812 then the next option is 822) The tires I am running are on 18 inch rims 265/35zr/18 93w Nitto555..

It seems my Speedometer is off... I don't have an exact off but i would assume at least 5 mph and no more then 10 mph off.

Is there another option that could affect this? Any ideas?

Here's a link to my "what speed in what gear" calculator. Select your transmission, rear-end gears and tire size and see how the numbers work out...

FWIW I entered your 265/35-18 tire size and got 822 revs/mile (I use 97% of the theoretical value to allow for effective diameter under load [I.e. "shrinkage"])...
