I used to have a bit of optimism in the van, but bought bigger tires, now
it's a bout .013% pessimistic at freeway speeds over a 20 mile stretch.

Hi.

I have a 1984 Westy Wolfsburg at home in Oregon, and another I just bought
to replace the '68 Westy I have been keeping in So. Cal for the last 17
years.  It is a standard (no tackometer) model.

Both have highly optimistic speedometers.  Both have fairly accurate
odometers.

How can I get the speedometers to read more accurately?

P.
