Essentially, the new tyres have a smaller circumference, so every turn of the 60 profile wheel, you travel about 1900mm, where on the 50 profile you travel about 1800mm. The speedo is calibrated to believe it is travelling 1800mm per revolution, where you are now travelling 1900mm. PS don't quote me on the maths [Updated on: Mon, 21 March 2005 20:08] [Report message to a moderator]
