Subject:Re: 15" wheels effect on spedometer?

Hi,    On my syncro I found that when I put 15 inch wheels with Agillis 51
tires there was no difference in the diameter of the tire, hence no spedo
change. I was concerned with tire height because if I had any more height I
wouldn't be able to drive into the garage. BTW this is the second set of
Agillis 51's and they are great tires. Good wear too, I took them off at
50,000 with tread still left.       Todd
