Your speedometer tells you how fast your car is moving—but changing the size of your tires can make that number less accurate. In this video, we look at what tire size actually means, how tire rotation relates to distance traveled, and how a vehicle turns that movement into a speed reading. We’ll also see why larger and smaller tires can create different speedometer readings, why wheel size alone doesn’t necessarily cause the problem, and how tire size can affect more than just indicated speed.
