I've looked at the tyre links in the suspension section, and it turns out I'll have a 6% (36mm) taller tyre diameter, and that at 100km/h on the tacho, im really doing 105.9km/h.

What do you guys think? should I consider purchasing or find something with a 40 series rubber so its accurate??
theres a 10mm limit to the difference you can legally have from memory. so yeah 40 profile if you can get the right loading
