Frequently Asked Questions

Why does tire size affect speedometer accuracy?

A speedometer is calibrated to the rolling distance per rotation of a specific tire diameter -- fitting a different tire diameter changes how far the vehicle actually travels per wheel rotation, throwing off the speedometer unless the drive gear is recalculated to match.
