Wheels have thrown off Speedo
I've found out that my speedo is now reading 2mph slower than my actual speed. I believe this is due to my changing wheel sizes from 195/50 R16 to 215/40 R17. I know if you go based on the numbers there isn't a big difference, however I talked to a wheel/tire guy and he said that those numbers are exact. a 195 might actually be 190 or 200 or a 215 might be 210 or 220. before you ask. I checked my speed with a higher end portabel Garmin GPS systems a friend of mine has. And I'd prefer that my speedo be right on the money or stating a slightly faster speed than I'm actually traveling.
