So we know how much the speedometer changes by using different sized wheels and tires, but does anyone know how much it throws off the odometer? I went to Vermont to pick up some rims a couple days ago and Google's map said it was a 181 mile trip one way, yet when I returned home I had over 400 miles on the trip odometer. Where'd the extra 40+ miles come from? It was all highway miles and I only got off the highway once each way, going less than a mile each time.

it will affect odometer readings the same percentage that it affects your speedo

I figured it out once but I forgot, but 40 miles a tank is about the difference you should expect from going from normal sized tires to 205/50/15 on an EGT...Comment

The odometer will not be off as it doesn't care at what speed you are going, it just shows engine speed.Comment
