Thought I'd share my observation, now that I have put 265/75 R16 BFGoodrich All Terrains on my Nav, my odometer and speedometer read low.
To get the best reading for a comparison I reset my odometer and my GPS trip log at the same place whilst stationary then before driving anywhere i ensured i had GPS fix. you can see from the photo after driving 100.4 kms (gps measurement) my odometer had read 94.5kms.
Therefore my speedo reads 94.12kms @ 100 kph. out by 5.87 kph.
This needs to be considered for service intervals, fuel consumption calculations etc. it might seem like nothing but after my odometer clicks over 5000 kms it is a real world 5276.56kms.
Thoughts anyone?
