Wow! I would have never guessed that.


Actually, the more I think about it how can that be true? The overall size of the wheel with tire is going to affect the speed. The computer would have to compensate for overall wheel & tire size. How can that be possible? How can it be done without the computer knowing the overall size of the wheel/tire?
