Can't help you with the "Tire Rack" question, but if by "20% short" you mean an actual kilometer traveled shows as 8/10ths of a kilometer on your odometer, then you must multiply the kilometers shown on your odometer by 1.25 and you have actually traveled 250,000 kilometers. If, on the other hand, your odometer read 1.2 kilometers after traveling an actual kilometer you have 166,670 kilometers actually traveled in your Westy...unless I'm wrong. -Dana- Dick Bowie wrote: > > Hi there > I looked on the Tire Rack website and could not find the section which will > show me the rev/mile.
