My car reads 4 -5 mph faster than it is, according to the radar speed alert signs and my Garmin GPS although my odometer reads true. It is my understanding that all cars from the factory are preset to read faster than actual to insure any speeding tickets are not caused by speedo.
Any non stock tire size will effect the speedometer and odometer.
