My 85 with Costco Kirkland 14" tires was dead nuts (per GPS, mileage markers, even the robot-radar thingees that say "Your Speed Is:").� An annoyance of my new GoWesty 16" wheels with their Michelin Hydroedge tires is an indicated speed of 60 with a true speed of 64, due to the slightly larger circumference of the new tires.� (also makes hill climbing less fun....but thinking about their 2.3 or 2.4 engine to make up for that!)

My '84 read about 5-6 mph high at 60 mph.� The '85 I replaced it with
read about 1 mph high at 60 with same tires and all.
