he's right, The 10 is the diameter which will screw the speedo...the 2.75 is the width of the tire (tread area) which wont do anything to the speedo.

Nope, at 3.00 is taller then a 2.75, and 2.75 is taller than a 2.50 .a 3.00 measures 51 inches or so roll out distance, measure the rollout and you will know if there's a difference

I work for a tire company and just thought to ask them, it won't affect the speedo in any way that is noticable. Though wider tires get you less gas mileage.
What it is?
