SiCaln Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 dude what size are your tyres at the mo, like I've got 195 45 15ie. 195 width, 45 profile, 15" size wheel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Erm, not sure, Eks reckoned I probably had 195/60/13 or 195/65/13Tis too dark to go find out and Jo won't let me out the house Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 taking that into account you could fit195/40/16s and only be +0.3% meaning ud be doing 50.8 when the speedo says 60or 195/45/16s and only be -3.1% meaning ud be doing 61.9 when the speedo reads 60at worst if u go to 205/45/16 it 4.7% meaning 62.8mph when it reads 60 not exactly jaw dropping difference is it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Could be enough to get a speeding ticket and screw up your car mileage though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul w Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Not at all mate,speedo's can be out anyway so theres around a 10% grace given regarding speeding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 I know, but I'd rather know I'm accurateAnd don't want to throw out the mileage and have untrue figures etcHow much would a recalibration cost by the way? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 ud be lucky first of all if u can find a garage to do it, and as paul said on sva's your allowed 10% under anywho n speeding cameras normally have say 70 + 10% + 2 = 79 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 im afraid i agree with Si and Paul here mate, recalibratin the speedo is rather pointless at best under these circumstances let alone a tacho...unless by tacho u meant speedo and im confuddled....but even still, Si had 18s and i run 17s and its not a big enough difference to REALLy warrant it man. just my 2p. i reckoned my speedo was off by 3-4mph MAX with the 17s on, tested it against my mums standard clio with my dad the night i got caught "speeding"....no need dude but i see your point, parents are parents.Phil.
