I bought my W124 from a non M-B dealer who put new 205/60R15's on the 300TE 4M. According to a web site this tire is smaller in circumference by 12% than the 195/65R15's they replaced
Does this mean my speedo will read 12% lower than I'm actually traveling? That seems like a lot. I've paced traffic in known areas and seem to be pretty close to actual speed. Any tips?
Thanks - don't want to attract the constables.
Best,
Hazen
