another question:
my 285/75-18 listed size is 35.1"

I have measured my tire height with the level on top of the tire method. Front tires measure 33.5", rear tires measure 33.75"

which of the 2 measured heights should I convert to mm and use for the input?
thanks
The manufacturer of my tire has a "revolutions per mile" for my tire, so I used that and calculated a mile divided by the revolutions, to get circumference, then converted to millimeters, I think I ended up with 2625 mm... Anyway, it seemed to work, speedo seems accurate. My tire is Yokohama AT G015 in size 285/75/17

i must be missing something because my calculations don't work

593 revs per mile
5280 feet in a mile.

5280/593=8.9 feet per rev

8.9x12"=106.8"

106.8" per rev... now what?

Are you using what a tire calculator converts that size to in inches, or what the actual diameter is as it sits on your truck? Go with the actual diameter as it is on your truck, at the tire pressure you’re gonna be running. The tire calculator can vary by as much as an inch between manufacturers.

593 revs per mile

5280/593=8.9 feet per rev

8.9x12"=106.8"

106.8" per rev... now what?
I’d say don’t worry about what the tire says, or what the manufacturer claims. If you’re dialed in at 2689, that’s what matters. 2689mm/25.4=105.87 inches actually being covered in one revolution. If the speedometer is matching gps, you’re all set.

Convert those inches to millimeters and you are there!

EDIT: 106.8" = 2713 mm, but as mentioned above, if your settings have the speedo/odo working accurately, you don't need to change anything.

2520 vs 2521, is less than you could accurately measure, it is 0.03%. your speedo has a lot less accuracy than that, so you have nothing to worry about.
