I laugh......
1. you should own a scangauge that would have the correct speedo.
2. I drove an Infiniti Q45S w taller tires for 170,000 miles and the speedo was off......who cares!!!!! I saved $1000 -$3000 in gas.
Beside, you have the SCANGAUGE which is accurate.
With your logic, then stip the car to bare metal to reduce weight and get better mpg due to light weight.
Tire size is one of the cheapest ways to improve mileage. your usually buying tires anyway. Size up.
