SSI gets the prize, the original tyres on a TA22 are 165R13, which is an 82 series profile, overall diameter of 596mm. You want someting like a 215/60 13 (588mm) or a 225/60 13 (600mm) to get close to your original diameter so the speedo reads close to actual speed. That's of course if they make tyres in those sizes and if they don't foul on your guards/suspension either.
A 195/65 13 (584mm) might be a better bet.
The 205/60 13's are 576mm od, and while that is 20mm (and in some States illegal) below the std size, its only 3.3% different in overall diameter, meaning that your speedo should only be 3km/h out at 100km/h. Reading high as it is completing a revoluation faster than std.
I would guess that maybe you, and your mates, speedo's are both out, yours reads high (3-4km/h) while his reads low (5km/h), combining to give you that 10km/h or so difference. So first off, check to see if your speedo is stuffed.
Hope you can get some decent tyres as well. I have A539's and they are excellent.
Mitch.
