Re: [DML] Speedometer Readings

Bill,

The rear tire does not affect the speedo. Since the speedo is controlled by
the angle drive on the front wheel, it's diameter is the only one that
matters.

I've got the Yokos also, and we did some testing with my Dad's truck and my
wife's car using two-way radios, and the speedo in our D with the Yokos was
quite accurate. You may want to try this before you embark on any speedo
recalibrations.
