The tires that I currently have on my car are P185/80 R13. The stock tire size is P185/70 R13. I know that this won't throw off my speedometer that much, but I was wondering by how much it might be thrown off?

when your speedo reads 60 you are going 63.8

okay thanks messy. I have seen a tire size and speed calculator somewhere online before, but I couldn't find it again.
ya if im at 60 im doing 58.7 that means im never speeding lol
okay sweet thanks for the link.
haha never speeding
You've got it mixed up. MessyHonda has listed the correct numbers. A larger than stock tire will give you a speedometer that reads low.Originally Posted by ghettogeddy

A larger tire will make the car travel farther with the same ammount of revolutions, thus the car goes faster. I just wasn't how sure just how much faster I was going.
I think Geddy was referring to his tires. I'm pretty sure his are smaller than stock.
yup....
i tried testing my speed.....we have a school zone with a digital speed sensor thing...so when you are going over 25mph its going to light up red....i tried to use it...but i didn't want to get in trouble...on my speedo i was going 25 and the thing did not blink or anything
