Speedometer accuracy
#16
Just thought In would add that mine is 3mph off as well. And I am running 315's on the back. If tires were stock it would probably be a little more? I guess I would need to check the circumference with stock tires to know for sure.
It would be interesting to know if this would make our odometer read more than actual?

I can't speak much for 993 and older models, but I drive 986/996/997/Cayennes by a "Your speed is" sign nearly daily, and 986/996 seem to be about 3 high, 997's about 2, and Cayenne's are nearly spot on. As previuosly stated, thats just how it goes.

I notice that when cruising on the freeway, I'm travelling at the same speed as other cars/drivers, who have presumably set their speed at a nice round number with cruise control..
If the above statement is true, is anyone filing a lawsuit against Porsche? This is wrong .
