[V8] More Auto vs. Manual differences???

[Ed Kellock]

Actually 235/45s are a bit taller than stock which would make the
speedo read a bit low, but not enough to account for the difference
you're reporting... you were indicating 80 and the cop said 86?  Is
that right?

For the RPM reading to be off there's really no other explanation than
a calibration issue.
