Why do GPS speed and indicated speed disagree?
Speedometers assume a stock circumference. A different tire changes revolutions per mile and throws the gauge off.
Convert a tire diameter or a width/aspect/rim size into circumference and how many times the tire turns each mile or kilometre.
Values update after you calculate. Empty or invalid inputs will not invent a number.
Enter the values and choose Calculate to see estimates.
Enter an overall diameter, or enter width, aspect, and rim so diameter can be derived. Circumference is π times diameter. Revolutions per mile are 63,360 divided by circumference in inches.
Circumference = π × diameter. Revolutions per mile = 63,360 ÷ circumference (inches).
These results are estimates for planning only. They are not OEM specifications, safety certifications, or professional mechanical, legal, or financial advice.
Speedometers assume a stock circumference. A different tire changes revolutions per mile and throws the gauge off.
Measure from ground to the top of the tire and double-check that the machine is on level ground with normal pressure.
