Speedometer reading after rims/tires upsize
« on: August 29, 2008, 12:13:42 PM »
Assuming rims/tires upsize from 15" stock to 16"/17". understand that the speedometer reading will not be accurate. Can't we do something on the speedometer to read the new 16"/17" rims/tires accurately?  :yehyeh:

i got a gadget which is connected to the OBD2 sensor. it shows reading from the ecu. difference is about 2km/h

Tks for sharing =)

What gadget is that and how much it cost? What is OBD2 sensor? Is it plus or minus 2kmh?

another way is to try going by sle towards bke and exit at yishun, at the filter, there is a speedometer that tells you the speed you are travelling at, i ever tried and it tally with my speedometer reading, not sure how accurate though.
