During a fit of boredom at the office this morning, I think I have
derived the formula for figuring speed based upon final gearing & tire
diameter (LTD? - "loaded" tire diameter).
MPH/1000rpm = 2.975 x D/G D = tire diameter
(inches)
G = final gear ratio
Hope this adds to everyone's worries about whether or not their speedos
are accurate.

'85 GL - speedoless
ps-now, how do we know that our tachs are accurate???Have something to add on this topic today? Revive this thread in the forum »
