I might just test the speedo accuracy with a GPS or iPhone app and report back.

Yeah I was gonna say that , dl the free one on the iPhone pretty accurate I'd say

So hows the bc set going for thos who purchased it ?

I did not buy from a dealership but as I said in the first post, I suspect the car had this sized tires fitted from the dealer as the Spare wheel is 235/40/18 as well and from the previous owners original invoice, the car was optioned with Sunroof, Sat-Nav, Tow Bar and 18" Kappa Wheels.

For real ? Then I'm guessing that it would factory tuned then to the specs of those tyres.

So I assume you are safe in terms of speedo error. So what it displays then most likely is correct if it was an option/extras purchased by the previous owners from a Toyota dealership.

So nothing to worry about I hope

I understand that but isn't it weird that if the rolling diameter is so far off and I assume illegal? the dealer shouldn't have put it on the car in the first place?

did you buy from a dealership ?

If u dont mind, could someone please explain to me the safety risk involved here?

Messing with the wheels in changing the rim size and tyre profile will mess with the speedo reading. It'll inaccurately point somewhere where in fact you might be actually going slower / faster hence safety and obvious financial problems, like speeding..

Not only that, if you mess with your rolling diameter to the point that it is a fair bit of a change (3% is usually the maximum change recommended), if this is in the negative direction (smaller) then that means that for a given speed, your wheels will be rotating faster. Your brakes will then be working harder as a result.

Why wouldn't u go 235/45/18 to keep the rolling diameter almost the same??

Tires in 235/40R18 are more common and therefore cheaper than tires in the size of 235/45R18. Personally, if you are going to do something, do it right instead of trying to just save yourself some money at the expense of your own safety etc.

so if i was you , i would try and fix/resolve the problem , to stop the speedo going off + incorrect odometer increasing at a faster rate.

ive seen the pertol injector cleaner thingos on special at supercheap for $4.95 .

i've never used one , i know you pour it into the tank, but do we do this before or after we fill up ?
