Just got back from a week in Ucluelet, BC (not camping, but lots of hiking and day trips in the Westy), and passed through one of those radar-check speed warning signs twice, and both times, noted my speedo read 10km/h high - an indicated 70km/h showed 60km/h on the radar. As I have slightly larger than stock tires on the front (Yoko Y370 195/75R14), this surprised me a bit. I expected maybe 5, but not 10km/h over. Does anyone know if those radar signs can be considered accurate?
