Ok I need some info any of you guys/gals can give me. I just recently changed my tires bcus I wasn't getting any traction or handling on them during this winter season. Plus they were getting bald. I went from a 205/50R/15 to a 205/50R/15 and I read that your speedometer may be off?? SO I was wondering if anyone would know how to calculate how much I lost going to a lower radial?? Doing 80 on the freeway seems like i'm only going 70-75mph or doing 25-30mph doesn't seem like the actual speed either.
I got Yokos on them I was supposed to get Toyos ....long story....but regardless the handling and cornering on them is a lot smoother than my old worn out tires. Could it be that I'm just getting used to the new tires? |

205x50x15 is the standard size so your speedo reading should be pretty accurate.
However, if you went for 205x55x15 then the speedo will be out but not by much. (sorry not sure how to calculate this). |
