Ok, just trying to make sure I'm thinking about this correctly. If the speedometer is inaccurate after putting larger than stock tires, then wouldn't the odometer be off by the same amount? For instance if the stock 285/60/18 wheel/tire setup were replaced with say 305/75/17 wheels/tire setup, then it looks like the circumference increases by 11.1%, which causes the speedometer to show a speed that is 11.1% lower than actual. Wouldn't this also mean that a vehicle with an odometer that reads 200,000 miles, which had the stock wheels/tires replaced with 35's at 100,000 miles actually have 211,100 miles on the vehicle? With more unsprung weight and rolling resistance than stock wouldn't those 111,100 actual miles on the 35's be more work/per mile on average than the first 100,000 assuming similar usage?
Does this matter? Would this cause you to look at a higher mileage vehicle that has been modded differently? Do I even have my math/thinking correct? Mostly just curious as I hadn't really thought about this before.
