Your un-corrected speedo will SAY youre going further on a tank, but really, you'll just be putting more miles on the speedo than youve actually travelled. I'm not saying you wont get some small gain..... but would it be worth it price wise? Whats a good set of 4 new tires mounted and balanced??? $400.00, $450.00?
