am i right if you have 275/60/15 tires and 3.23 gears you would need a green 31 tooth speedo pinion gear correct?

How tall are the tires? You may need the 33 tooth

if you figure it using the chart on here it works out to be a 27.98" or 28" tire.

I'd make a mark on the tire next to the pavement then measure the rollout on the pavement which'd be ~8-9 ft or so (not sure on the rest of the formula) to get an accurate figure as you dont want to have to pull it again.

If the 31 tooth gear is not accurate, the speedometer could be out of calibration.I had to change out my speedometer, it was so far off.

The 30 tooth gear would be closer. See below

The 31 will be about 2 mph lower at 2500 RPM than the 30, i.e. 58 mph vs 60 mph.

The actual math says you need a 30.25 tooth pinion, 30 is the closest.
