You need to plug in 305/30/20, as the speedometer reads from the rear tires on a Mustang.
I don’t get what you are saying? I really don’t care about the speedometer as I go as fast as I care. What is the question?
I think the point was that you used front-tire-size to get your 1-mph-difference estimate, when you should have plugged in your rear tire size instead.

You may not care about the speedometer, but that is what you are using to get your estimate.

That's exactly what's being the point - Mustang calculates speed by the drive axle and cares not about the size of the front tires for speedo purposes.

No problem. You are the first person I've heard say they don't care what the speedometer reads. I'm guessing there is no speed radar where you live or the patrol officers don't care hthat you drive as fast as you care. :) I'd say a speedometer that reads 5 or more mph under the true speed is not necessarily good, especially as we drive faster than about 10 mph over the speed limit. 15+ over in GA earns a person an excessive speeder violation. Probably not that way where you drive.

I guess you guys don’t get it. I don’t give a shit. And yes I did plug-in front and rear if you could read. It doesn’t look like you can. Go away.

My last post had nothing to do with what you plugged in. If you cared about your speed and used your speedometer, you are actually poking along in the fast lane :) Lighten up, most of us don't know each other and we get it you don't give a shit. Cheers
