Odometer Accuracy of Stock Autos

speedometers are commonly inaccurate at high (more than 120 mph/190 kph) speeds, but are ok for lower speeds.

mga pre tanong ko lang, kasi i plan to change the tires of my glxi pizza from 185/65/14 to 15in. ano dapat ang bihin kong gulong na hindi magbabago ang odometer / speedometer reading? is there some kind of chart or formula that is followed or referred to when upgrading tires? thanks a lot in advance.

hi sheep,

a gps is a very cool and helpful navigational and can measure all kinds of things to help you find your way (on top of telling you your speed, distance travelled, etc.)

i'll pm you the contact info of the shop where i got it kasi medyo o.t. na siya dito.

yung post naman ni sir otep re the porsche speedometer...i can believe that! (hehehe, i would just love to drive, better yet own, a porsche sir!)

again, thanks for the insights peeps

nag test ata dati yung Car & Driver and found that odometers are generally very accurate even if the speedometer of the same car is off by a significant margin. so it doesnt mean na kung off yung speedo mo e off din yung odo.
