Re: MPH calibration with 35'' tires????

What you need is the "driven gear" of the speedometer drive. It is housed inside the threaded part where the speedo cable attaches. There is a little bolt/clamp that holds the unit in place. It just pulls straight out after removing the clamp. There is an O-ring sealing it and providing some tension in the hole.
New driven gears are available from the local dealer and they should have a chart showing what you need for your new tire size. Cheap, easy fix.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
