You need a new gear on the speed sensor.

Re: new tires..speeo off
Generally Jeep speedometers get more accurate with larger tires.
How did you get your numbers?

Re: new tires..speeo off
got my numbers by my son following me in his wrangler, me in my GC. I know
my speedo is about 1 mph off (in the GC) because of the radars that display
speed on the side of the road used by our local police. We compared our
speeds by cell phone. I know not the most accurate way to do this....
