I run mine on 245-75-16 and the speed and speedo reading are accurate with a satnav on all of the speed range

i have 265/75/16's on and the speedo reads around 5mph faster than the sat nav at 50mph..... so it reads 10% faster than the actual speed according to the sat nav.

it feels great to be doin nearly 80mph!!!!  :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
