The 10% off was do to smaller tires than stock, not speedo 'error'. My
speedometer was correct with my stock 215/75 tires, and is only off .5-1
mph
max with 255-60-15's.. (*225-60-15's aren't as tall as 255-60, or
215-75's). If
you really look at most cars, you get a + -2 mph indicated on most cars
(even VDO gauges... Look at the Porsche Turbo - 195 indicated, 188
actual!).
