ok!! i just wanted to know does it make any difference to the speedometer if you have 13´s or 12´s or 10!!?? or does the reading come from the engine??? ( nobody laugh here!! ) :sad:

Like if i have 13`s and go 100mph will it also show the same with 10`s...as the wheels is small / bigger??? and therefor the 10`s go faster??? or maybe they dont??? :(

maybe i have not explained that very good...be nice for a explaination though!! :grin:

the reason why i ask im driving on 13`s and i know that trucks in germany drive between 85kmh and 95kmh...i know that because i drive one!! anyways i drove up behind one for about 5 minutes in my mini and my tacho shows 110kmh...i know sometimes speedometers can be a little out on the readings!!
