Ever since I bought my 2000 Accord V6 I've noticed the speedometer has been showing me going faster than I actually am. The faster I drive the more it's off so it's not a needle placement issue/fix. At 30mph It'll read 31 which I can live with but at 63 it reads 65, 75 is reading as 79 and so on. It's exactly like it would be if you had smaller tires on it. The tires I have on it now are brand new stock size with 11/32 tread so they are as big as stock gets right now.
I know the clusters are completely different between the I4 and V6's so it's likely this is only a V6 issue.
The car is completely bone stock with factory 15 inch rims. Tire size is 205/65R15.
The only solution I see is to put on tires that are one size larger. Using a tire size speed calculator I found out that 205/70R15 tires would put the speed dead on throughout the range. Not sure if they will rub or not though.
Just wondering if anyone else noticed the same thing with their V6 Accord. Let us know. Thanks.
