South Africa 2012 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 HSE Auto Fuji WhiteDiscovery 4
D4 + Compomotives + BFG 265/65R18 and Speedometer

Hi Guys,

I have ordered Compomotives for my Disco, have also ordered BF Goodrich AT 265/65R18 K02s and I am wondering what effect this will have on the speedometer reading?

I have also ordere an IIDtool Bluetooth version so is there a fix if required?

In the unlikely event that your speedo is accurate now, you'll be going 2% faster than the indicated speed when you have the new tyres on.

However, your speedo probably under reads anyway, so it will probably be less inaccurate with the new tyres than it is now.

Have just put on the exactly the same setup and put up a similar post.

Theoretically your speedo should under read by 5.3% so your actually going faster than you think. Eg Speedo = 110km/h actual speed 115.9 km/h). Not sure is this falls within the speedo accuracy tolerance but in my case my speedo under reads and my 2 speeding fines are evidencešŸ˜ž.

Some threads say you can easily adjust the wheel size with your IID tool - others say that it is not recommended because itā€™s a ā€œCritical parameter that is part of the CCF health-check.ā€

Hope someone in the know can give a definitive answer..

Cheers..

Had notice the option in the IID menus to change the wheel size, not that I need to yet

Have been checking my D3 against the roadside speed warning signs and the speedo seems pretty accurate

In the end I checked my speedo against a phone app, Navman and my wifeā€™s car and agree - speedo is bang on with no changes to anything. No excuse for the fines anymore šŸ˜«

Canā€™t argue with the maths so it make me wonder about the default speedo setting accuracy out of the factory - if that is 5% out then everything calculated from the speedo is 5% out (eg L/100 km)
