[QUOTE="naskeet, post: 640600, member: 15903"] Overall effective gearing is dependent upon transaxle gear ratios & final-drive ratios, plus wheel-diameter, tyre section-width & tyre aspect-ratio. With tyres of the same nominal section width, using a lower profile than 185/80 R14C on a 14 inch wheel or 195/70 R15C on a 15 inch wheel or 195/65 R16C on a 16 inch wheel, will increase the overall gearing, resulting in higher engine revs for a given true road speed and the speedometer with give a higher reading for the same true road speed.
