Thank you very much for your response to my query. William Subject: Re: right sized tires, wrong speed indication

Some of those replying felt it necessary to differentiate between actual and indicated speedometer readings, since vanagons are known for having inaccurate speedometers while using standard size tires. Accuracy would relate to correct gas mileage calculations, RPMs vs. engine life, etc. An accurate, factual response is preferred by most people. If you would rather have *sort of* accurate answers to your Vanagon questions, please let the List know! > > Cary > > > > --------------------------------- > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
