Those are the same height as 245/75-16. So on my CRD, that would be about 2% difference (odo counting 2% too slow). Apparently, each KJ is different though so you'll have to use GPS to verify.

On a long trip last year I calculated my odometer was 4.5% low (95.5 miles displayed over 100 miles marked) with the 215/85/16s, and the speedometer is near perfectly accurate.
