Considering a 0.5% to be a 5% error, I can tell you ain't an aircraft engineer or any kind of engineer. My acceptances of 0.5% errors, are 0.5% calculations..... not "maybe 5% off". I wouldn't accept 5%. That is why my car, normally fitted with stock 175x70x14 inch tires now has 205x65x15 inch tires...... close clearances. Since changing two of my cars to much larger tires/wheels, they ride, handle, brake, & corner with superior results than new for the last 75,000 miles..... & no vehicle parts failures or problems with the bigger tires/wheels.
