hi again just checked my odometer reading this morning and seems a different %out than the speedo can someone who's good at maths please confirm I have done my maths correctly
I have 245/75/15 tyres on ( a land rover defender) from the original standard tyres of 235/85/16 this gives a 7 % under readings on the SPEEDO-This corresponds to the GPS reading (although the speedo jumps about more than a modern car so hard to be exact-Hey someone commented I should use a calendar instead )

The odometer this morning was showing 9.7km reading compared to the 8.6 km reading from the GPS.
This I take as 11.34% increase on the odometer worked out by:

9.7-8.6 = 1.1

Then 1.1 divided by 9.7 = 0.1134

then 0.1134 x 100 = 11.34

thats a 11.34% increase in the oddometer reading

am i right?
