Hi,

I've just replaced 2x 205/60/15's with 1.6mm of tread

for 2 new tyres of the same size with appox 9mm of tread.

My BMW takes its milometer feed from the diff, so the increased circumference of the new tyres will change that..

whats the best way to factor in the % difference, or does anyone know a way to calibrate an electronic speedo/milometer?

thanks
