larger wheels and speedo accuracy

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

the only true way to figure out if you are at correct speed with tires is :
stock size tires + gear ration and RPM
example 85 MKII with 9A tranny, @ 4200 RPM = 80MPH, get on hwy with
15/205/50 and my spedo says that I am dead on, get on talkabout and everyone
states I am going anywhere from 75-90... heheh... I trust the math.. not
anyone's display.
