I dunno about you Karl... both of my Doka's show tenths (of a Km.).
I've taken by Turbo Subie 2wd van to the peg. Pretty scary even with
17"X 8" and 17"X 9" wheels shod with 45 series which are Z speed
rated. I realize the approximately 115mph indicated in my low reading
speedometer is not much further than 130mph but I frankly have trouble
envisioning that in a Vanagon w/o serious aerodynamic aids.
