So, compared to GPS, my Speedo is consistently 5mph too optimistic. My tires are 195/65-15. I’ve read in other threads that has shown to be a good size for correcting error.
So, not really wanting to go taller still, is there any other way to calibrate the Speedo? Thanks, Van |

As an Air Force guy, I don't want to be any more reliant on GPS than what we already are ... tunnels, cloudy days, wrong area for sat coverage and your needle will develop ED real quick lol...
Clay, I do have a couple questions for you though. Are you saying 195/65-15 is still too small compared to the mostly undefined 165HR15 OE tire size? Also, is there anymore info on adjusting this tensioner I can look at? -Van |
