Okay I was looking at tires....Again and i knoticed something odd... As you know stock tire size is 215/45-17 but here my question. Bridgestone Potenza RE92 is listed as being a 24.6 diameter and rotates at 847 Revolutions Per Mile. The Avon Tech M550 A/S is listed as being a 24.8 diameter and rotates at 838 Revolutions Per Mile. Lastly Sumitomo HTR+ is listed as being a 24.5 diameter and rotates at 850 Revolutions Per Mile. Why is there so much difference between tire size, I know it's not much, but also revolution. Which are mainly effected by size.. I dont get it.. If I get Avon's thats gunna through off my speedo... .6 [email protected], so if i'm going 70, my speedo will read 70.6mph.. Most importantly the Diff ratio will change, from 4.23:1(mt) to 4.20:1. I Dont know what to think, I know it's not much, but it's still different then stock, maybe I should rethink think and go with another tire? I'm alittle lost here...

You're trying to pick fly sh!t out of pepper. Calm down. Slight differences are insignificant to the point that a pressure change could easily account for the difference you describe. Anything less than 2% is considered negligible.

I concur.
