I have no clue about the whole speedo crap, i didnt even know the speed sensor was in the diff(never cared to looked for it to be honest) all i know is yime and time again ive checked my speedo versus other speed read outs and so far the most its been off was a "your speed is" sign saying i was 1mph slower then my speedo.  idk im not going to try and figure it out, im just gonna continue to drive, i dont care about mpg at all i fill up when i need to fill up and thats it. |
Tire size and speedometer calibration are also important to speeding violations, especially, speed on green/stop light cameras. Usually they have a small grace range, however with bigger tires it is useful to know the impact so you can "remember" to compensate! Remembering being the key word!
For the rear tire size quoted 60 mph on standard tires = 64.212 mph on the 265/40-18. That is going to be noticeable somehow!
