tire size speedometer question...
okay, this is probabaly a stupid question, but I just switched from 215/55/16's to 225/50/16's (Dunlop SP5000's... so far VERY nice).... should there be any miscalculation with my speedometer?
Thanks in advance,
Randy

You lost around 0.40" in overall tire/rim diameter, which will equate to a 1.8% decrease in Speedo reading - you'll see 60 mph on the speedo when the car is actually going 58.9 mph (assuming your speedo is accurate to begin with)
1 mph difference isn't too much to worry about.
