Does anyone know how much the speedo will differ by changing from the stock tire size to the KDW 255/55/18 in the rear?

I just put KDW 255/55/18 on the back and they are huge, great looking tire. The grip is amazing too.

Yeah, I'm getting the KDW2 installed on the front and rear tonight. I can't wait to see what the difference is.

I have the KDW2's on my Marauder front & rear. They ride smoother & grip better. It's a nice difference.

Don't forget to adjust your headlights.

About 1.5 mph (faster) at 80 mph. Less at lower speeds. GPS vs. Speedometer.

Right. It's actually about 1.5% faster at all speeds, so, about 1 MPH at 60 MPH.

I smell a PCM reflash coming... :type:

Might as well have it tweaked (if and) when I get the A/F tweaked next.
