How accurate is your speedo ?

My odometer is off by about 6-7 mph at about 65 mph. I have 245/45-16's. I know it should be off by 1 or 2 mph. But 6-7 mph seems to be to much. Does anyone have the same problem? If so what did you do to fix it?

Your size tire should have very close to the stock circumference. I believe you should see at most the 1-2 that you mentioned in your post.
