the difference in rolling radius between 13s wiith big tres and 17 with low tyres is probably fuck all enough to make a difference. s[peedos over read anyway (or most standard equipt ones will) and this will be about 10% so 6mph less at 60mph approx anyhow

correct, limits of uncertainty of your speedo is 10% whicn you must conform to. Although the difference is small, the acceleration loss is significant (eg. daves car)
