Re: new tires..speeo off
got my numbers by my son following me in his wrangler, me in my GC. I know
my speedo is about 1 mph off (in the GC) because of the radars that display
speed on the side of the road used by our local police. We compared our
speeds by cell phone. I know not the most accurate way to do this....

Re: new tires..speeo off
Got any reasonably lightly travelled highways in the area? Run at
steady speed past 10 of the numbered markers along the highway using a
stopwatch for timing. Poor man's VASCAR. GPS would work as well.
