My car is supposed to have 165 - 65 - R14 tires, but right now on the front it has 175 - 65 - R14. I want to get proper-size RE92's, but I haven't gotten to it yet. I am wondering how the front tire size, being 1cm larger than specified by Honda, affects the VSS signal. Have I been driving slightly farther than my car thinks I've traveled?
