Buying tyres for the Golf - 205/55X16

And if you did correct your speedometer your odometer will be over reading by 10% which would mean for every 1000kms traveled your odometer shows 1100.

I have the fix listed at www.my-gti.com under reference, still doing some testing but it seems fine so far.

I like your fix - I wish I could borrow a vag-com from somewhere - though it looks complicated.

Surely a bigger diameter tyre would cause the odometer to read "under" Which might be a good thing (where's the wink smiley?)

Isn't that hard to do, I'm bringing in a Vagcom style handheld unit shortly and I'll see if that can do it.

Wouldn't the speedo get even further out then as they are linked just ~10% apart. If you correct one in that manner then the other one will be out by ~10%.

Too hard to think about at the moment, I'll get a headache!
