Pros/cons of higher profile tires? Nowadays the speedometer and odometer are fed by the PCM, which is correcting the signal from the transmission based on the tire circumference and gear ratios the vehicle left the factory with. I guess you're right about the error from tire inflation/wear being comparable to 1 KPH. Still, if it was my vehicle, I'd fix the PCM, or at least keep the paperwork in a safe location to document the change. I don't know of any vehicles where you can edit the current odometer reading by screwing with the PCM. You can change the rate at which miles go on, but you can't take the old ones off. |

Pros/cons of higher profile tires? 1 KPH isn't a big deal for the speedometer, I'm not so sure about the odometer. Ideally, the powertrain controller would be updated with the new tire size. If that's not an option, document the heck out of it, so you can calculate the true mileage on the car. |

Subsitute for Leaded Gas Harden the valves and put in low compression pistons and it will run on regular pump gas just fine. It's not how I like to see a classic end up, but it's been done. |
