3.08 ->3.73, what is 70mph equivalent to?

I used to have a 3.08 10 bolt and I got a whole new 3.73 rear put in recently. What would 70 mph with 3.73 gears and the same 26" tires be in reality? (appx is fine)

Yes, I know I need to get my speedo recalibrated but for now, I'm just curious.

Thanks for your help,

Erik

70 x 3.08 / 3.73 = 57.8, so let's say 58mph.

That's assuming the speedo was correct with the 3.08's.
