True Speed/Indicated Speed ????
Hey everyone!
Tonight (Sunday) I had the pleasure of whiping the pants off of a Golf in my
GTI. Anyways, at one point on a very deserted stretch of road, I let the car
go. Unfortunatly, I have 195=70-14's on the car, so my speedo is way off at
high speeds. It used to be pretty acurate, (when I had correct tires...) so
I'm trying to figure out what speed I was going if the speedo read 96 mph
(when I let off, still had another gear to go!) My estimate puts my speed
anywhere between 105-110. How far off am I? Correct tire size for the
car is 185-60-14, I have 195-70-14. Geez! Are those things Huge!
Thanks for all help!
