27.75" Nittos + Speedometer Error

[salvageV6]

Anyone figure out what the speedometer error is with the new Nitto Drag Radials 275/60/15?

I would like to know before I put them on tuesday so I don't get busted,.... again...

27.75/26.1 = 1.06 So it will read about 6% slow.

52 mph on the speedo is actually 55 mph

He he no wonder everyone flys by me on the highway when I do 70 mph on the 275/50/15 series Nittos.

Thanks for the answer, not a big change luckily.

Try this link : www.c5-corvette.com/tirecalc.htm

Fill in the 275/50/15 and the size of tire you want to compare to.
