P500 Speedometer inaccurate?

I wonder what the difference at full speed would be between a radial and bias tire. The radial should grow less than the bias tire at speed.

Do you drive race cars? LOL I don't think I was on them long enough to get them up to temp.

Not in a long time lol. I guess a better way to ask the question would be if there is any tire growth at 40mph. Low pressure bias tires tend to grow with rpm. Probably not much at 40mph though.

We all know that the p5 is not very fast, so what. It's way more fun to ride a slow machine fast than a fast machine slow.

Where I ride...& the way I ride..my
p5..plenty speed. ..for me...
P5 Owners most famous words...
" be there in a minute "

The 27" Terrabites put the speedo within 0.5-1mph of my Garmin GPS. I sat down and did the math before I bought tires, figured if I was going as fast a the speedo said if be happy. It worked out great.

26" tires got it closer but I'm thinking 27" tires would put it right on, like you said.

If I ever wear out these BH's, I'll be looking at 27's.
