Also, could this be corrected with a larger/smaller tire? I'd love for it to be correct
Just because the speedo does not read correctly does not mean the ODO is off as well. My Focus reads 2mph high but the ODO is spot on. Verify miles traveled with your GPS before doing math that might not be needed.
