Hay I currently have these size tyres on my el falco futura - R17-225-50
and am going to change to R-17-235-45 .
What percentage will my speedo be out because the outer tyre diameter will be smaller?
cheers

Or you could install a Police cluster and calibrate it yourself!

More accurate than stock speedo gears not designed for alternate wheel/diff ratios!

If your speedo is correct now at 100Kph with the old tyres you will be doing 98Kph with the new tyres.
