Different heights of tire will change the speedometer reading.
Why do you calibrate speedometer after bigger tires are installed?
You recalibrate it because bigger tires mean different speeds... for example, lets say your car had 14 inch tires... and your speedometer is saying that you are going 50, if you add 20 inch tires which is 6 inches bigger, you might be going around 60-70. No need to get a speeding ticket. Bigger tires cover more road then smaller tires, for example for ever 1 turn from a 20 inch tire is like 1 and ahalf turns from a 14 inch... Hope Ive helped you understand why :)
