P500 Size Matters

[sgerksinwi]

Does anyone worry about the effect of different readings (speedo) when changing tire size?
Can you adjust it?
Sorry I do ride on trails with speed limits and I already give my DNR enough money

I've found larger tires are more accurate, according to my GPS.

I'm running 26's currently. They are close to spot on. The stock 24's were speedo faster than reality.

If you are concerned I used to use a product called speedohealer on the bikes I changed gearing on and they actually list Honda pioneer on the compatible vehicle list.

Ya. Most people want be concerned.

If you changed to 35" tires it wouldnt make that much difference on a 40mph vehicle . just sayin

The only time you'll notice a difference is if you're driving backwards up side down!

A 35 inch tire on a P 500 with the speedometer reading 40 miles an hour would be approximately 53 mph actual speed. The tire size difference between 26 inch and 35 inch is a bout 25% difference so you will also have a 25% difference in your actual speed if the engine could do it.

That would be one bad dude though, wouldn't it? Could you imagine a P 500 with portals and 35 inch tires!? I would love to see you. However, a fart could knock it over.

One of my favorite websites. I won't hot link it, but here's a couple pictures comparing 24" to 26".
