That should give the speedo shop plenty of info to work with. When I switched from 12" wheels to 14" on the GEO Metro I drive about 1200 miles a week, the change was about 10% over the entire speed range and the odometer readings. I'm indicating a pretty consistent 10% slower on the speedo than the GPS. The error increases as the speed goes up. Jerry
