Yes I have looked into this quite a lot as I have over size tyres and I wanted to know the effect it would have on my readings etc. The odometer and the trip computer seem accurate, but the actual speedo overreads by +/-5%. But this is normal and in previous discussions it has generally been agreed that this is a safety factor implimeted by most vehicle manufacturers.
