Did you reprogram the Edge with the larger tire size?

If you did not reprogramm your speedometer it is off.

Try using a gps or something like that. It will give you your speed based off the satelites instead of off the computer in the car. The EVO is probably just reading whatever the computer is telling the speedometer
