except that you won't be able to "adjust" the speedo needle, because
it's going to be off by a *percentage*, not a fixed number. for example,
that might mean 2 MPH off at an indicated 25, 4 MPH at an indicated 50,
and 6 MPH off at an indicated 75.
cheers!

The fact is that it isn't that big of a deal. I will just see what true
speed is on my GPS and adjust the needle accordingly on the speedometer.
Need to pull the cluster anyway to fix that damn'd broken-odometer water
torture clicking. I am sure not going to trash $400+ worth of still-good
tires just to make the speedometer read correctly. And until I fix it, I
will know that indicated 60 is actually 65, or plug in the GPS.

Seems like you're the only one not agreeing with all the rest of us.
I am having a difficult time convincing myself that a 65 isn't a 65, no
matter how wide the tire is. Just because the tire is wider, it shouldn't
necessarily be taller.
Look at this table. Note how the number of revolutions per mile goes down
and diameter goes up as the width goes up from 185/65-15 to 195/65-15 to
205/65-15?
