This seems backwards. The taller tire will get you a higher actual speed than what's read on the dash.

Yeah, doesn't seem to make sense, it should be off the other way.
Stupid question......are both the GPS and speedo reading in MPH vs those silly Canadian KPHs?

in a similar vein, I was playing with Torque today and realized my Cluster RPM reads 250 rpm higher than digital. I've been wondering why my idle on the cluster was always 1,000-1100 rpm. Guess it's really 750-800 rpm
