Remember though, that the second number is not the actual height of the sidewall, just a proportion of the width. 110/80-17 vs 120/80-17 the sidewall on the second tire will be (barely) bigger. Anyway, a bigger sidewall would make your speedo read too slow, not too fast. It's probably fine. Many manufactures build in a little "extra" on their speedo readings. If a manufacturer made a speedo that, say, read too slow and someone got a speeding ticket they could conceivably look for recourse with the manufacturer of the vehicle for the speeding ticket. If they build the speedos a tiny bit too FAST, they don't have this problem. ;) (in reply to ken12) Post #: 4
