With my Metzler 880 200 I always figured I was reallly going 5 miles an hour slower than that which was being registered on my speedo. Anyone have an idea on how far off my speedo is with a Yokohama 205 60 16? J

Mine with motorcycle tires was off by 4 mph at 70 mph, so gps was 70 but speedo showed 74. With michelin hydro edge 205-65-16 it's dead on 70 mph. About to put the 1300 FD which will make it slow. Shrug
