Do bigger tires effect the speedometer How do you calculate the difference I had 29.5 inch tires and now have 33 inch tires?
Larger tires will affect the speedometer. There may not be a large difference in your application, but there will be a difference. You may be reading 45mph, and really be going 48mph. the worst problem will be in your odometer after a few thousand miles. your odometer will be WAY off once you have traveled a few K miles. I would suggest going to a local transmission shop to have your speedo re-calibrated for the larger tires. If you go much larger than that, check with your local mechanic on how well your transmission will be able to turn such a large tire. you may need to be re-geared.
How does using larger diameter tires affect gas mileage?
It lowers your mpg
Do bigger tires effect the speedometer How do you calculate the difference I had 30 inch tires and now have 33 inch tires?
YesPutting larger diameter tires on any vehicle will affect the speedometer and odometer readings. If you know the revolutions per mile for the original tires and the larger tires, you could calculate the speed difference. If they are already on the vehicle, you can also drive down the highway, set the speed at 60 MPH and measure the time it takes to drive between mile markers. One mile at 60 MPH takes 60 seconds. If it is not 60 seconds between mile markers, the difference is the speedometer error. AnswerYour tires are 10% larger than the car thinks. Therefore, you travel 10% more than your car recognizes. This has two effects: Your actual speed is 10% MORE than what your speedometer is reflecting. (When your speedometer reads 60, you are actually traveling 66)10=11, 40=44, 100=110 etc.Your actual mileage is 10% MORE than what your odometer is reflecting. (When your odometer reads 100 miles, you have actually traveled 110)So when you see a cop doing a speed trap, remember to slow down accordingly.When you sell your car, don't forget to disclose that you have larger tires and that the odometer should read more miles than it does.

What would happen if you put 15 inch tires on a car that calls for 14 inch tires?
First off I am assuming the larger tires and wheels fit with adequate clearance. The 15" tires are likely taller than the 14" tires, that means they have a larger circumference, thus a longer rolling distance. It will make the car sit slightly higher. Most likely the biggest difference will be that the speedometer and odometer will read incorrectly, I don't know just how much.
Does Speedometer Accuracy Affect Odometer Accuracy?
Kinda-sorta, but not really.Speedos are usually set to register a little high, as car manufacturers don't want the drivers to blame them for getting a speeding ticket - but that planned error doesn'taffect the odometer.But if you've change the tires or something which has thrown the speedo off, that change will also affect the odometer.
Does putting bigger tires on a car affect the handling?
Putting larger tires on your car will give you higher top spee with less torque. However, changing the tire size will make your speedometer inaccurate.
