Title: Upgrading wheels and tyres
Post by: amba on 17 October 2008, 20:07:44
What would be the difference  replacing standard Softstars fitted with 225/55/16 ,to Irmscher Ronals fitted with 235/45/17,s to the accuracy of the speedo..and for that matter anything else (except the appearance !! ).?

should be no difference,
p.s most miggy speedos are out anyway, mine and the mother in law we set cruise at 74mph and actually do 70mph for example

All road cars are out by some degree unless you have the speedo callibrated like the police cars.

Most auto mfrs make speedo's underead intentionally as a safety margin.
