Consistant with the federal standard that was in place at the time on speedo
accuracy.  Could read 3mph high but could only read under by 1mph.  Almost
everybody put their speedos at the high end for their specifically offered
tires so that if someone went with the slightly higher optional tire the
speedo would still be in standard.
