the rules for speedo accuracy take account of the worst-case - which is I guess the smallest tyre diameter (after the tread has worn), plus the softest rubber, etc. So you tend to get between about 8% and 1% error

assume, speedo is out by %10.. what happens .. you know speedo reading is fake , so arrange your speed accordingly.. ;D

here there are many road radars (without police) (and I'm sure there also exist) showing your speed that you can compare yours without having gps..


Not here you just get flashing signs saying slow down.

Maybe yours isn't but the 40+ bhp I have over standard will make up for the huge tyres.  :P
