    D1 speedo accuracy

    Went out to Warburton/Nojee on an LROCV run today after doing the camel cut to the rear guards and fitting my set of steel rims with 265/75/16 MT's, on the way up on the highway using my gps i reckon my speedo was close to spot on maybe 0.5 kph under but close enough to rely on the speedo alone.
    Also was surprised how little performance i lost with an almost 3" taller tyre, really only noticed it on a long uphill section at 80kph and needing to boot it to keep momentum up .

    my d2 is near on, perfect(actually reads a bit slower than actual with the standard tyres at 50% worn. this is throughout the speedo range. with a peculiar "slow" reading at around 70-90.
