I just got new tires on my 2011 Kia Sportage EX, the OEM tire size is 235/55/18. The size I just got is 235/60/18 and the speedometer is now off buy about 5 MPH is there a way to recalibrate the speedometer?
It’s great that you got new tires for your Kia Sportage.
As for the speedometer discrepancy, changing tire sizes can indeed affect its accuracy.
You might want to consider visiting a certified mechanic or contacting your dealership to see if there’s a recalibration option available for your specific vehicle model.
They might be able to adjust the speedometer to compensate for the change in tire size, ensuring it displays the correct speed. It’s always better to address this to maintain safe driving conditions and avoid any potential issues with speed regulation.
