was your stock tyres 205/55/16 OR 205/60/16???

If that is your stock tyres (205/55/16)and now you're on 225/45R18

your speedo reading will be 4.4% slower than what you're actual speed is. (speedo reads 100kph but actual speed is really 104.4kph)

yeah, the Gen5 Sportivos came with 205/60R16 tyres...

BUT, i have a feeling that all the Gen5 Camry speedos were calibated using the 15" tyres which the lower grades got, 205/65R15...

but i dont know about that :rolleyes:

For 18" it is supp'd to be 225/40

but you can get away with 235/40 or 225/45

But for 225/45 your speedometer will read slower

(ie your speedometer will say 100km/h but your really doin 101.xxkm/h)

whereas the other two should read faster.

On the TS-1 concept they were 225/40

Thats an interesting point. Because I have one demerit pt left I use cruise nearly all the time. For example coming home from work down reid hwy the limit is 90kmph, I set the cruise on 95, theres always a speed camera in the same spot at least once every week and I dont get flashed. From your theory I should get flashed at 100k's <_<
