I've got 195 BF Goodrich ATs on my 87 Westy. My unscientific
GPS/speedometer observations over the past 2000 miles of a roadtrip
originating in Labrador and (hopefully) terminating in Victoria BC
sometime towards the end of the month suggest that my speedo is
approx 5 km shy of 'true speed' as measured by the GPS at approx. 100
km/h. Speedo will read 100 when the GPS says 104-105.


Don't know what variability there is in the speedo to begin with, so TTFWIT.


Regards,


Larry Innes
Goose Bay, Labrador
87 Westy GL - 'Blu'
