Does the Liberty have a "magic" tire size that corrects the speedometer error? As an example it's pretty much common knowledge in Cherokee circles that a 235-75 tire will result in the speedo being dead on. I'm asking because my stock tires are just about done and I'm starting to look at replacements.

I checked our Liberty recently and it is dead on with our GPS, but the tread is down to 3/16" and also need replacing very soon. I was going to look for same size as the OEM 225/75/R16 that came on the rig, but I haven't found anything in that size that I wanted, only in the 235/16 size.

Thanks for the replies. I had Yokohama Geolander +2's on my 02 Liberty and liked them. I'm leaning that way but would like to try a set of Duelers.

You may like them as I did/do.

My 245/70/16 BFG AT's are dead on without any adjustment to the ECU performed by a dealer for a larger size - all I did was go from the 235 to 245/70/16.
