No speedometer actually records linear travel, it only estimates it based on reading the rotational speed of a rotating component.

If a smaller diameter tire has to rotate faster to achieve the same automobile speed, wouldn't that indicate a higher speedometer readout, given that the sensors are from the output shaft to the rear wheels?
