and just out of curosity, if your spedometer is incorrect, how do you know you are going 60?

 

let me guess... the "si " rims came from a 7th gen civic....
7th gen cars use a larger diameter tire...
FYI TO YOU ALL

EDIT: oops i saw you wrote 2002 si...
anyways ... it is true the new 7th gen civic all use larger tires

 

wait ok so it'll put more miles on teh odometer but thats what everyone looks at...how much more miles will it put on...this is ****ed up man...also would he get pulled over for speedin if his speedo is mesed up..should he get it recalibrated or what..damn

 

Yep. :wiggle: If you are going 60 mph according to the speedometer with this setup, the car will actually be going 61.9.. the speedometer is reading 1.9mph too slow.

 

alrite so after all this figurin out....do u think its ok to keep them on...will it affect the driving...and will it add on alot of miles...sorry i'm knida a newb to this..

 

Pros:
-Slower tire wear
-better handling through a larger contact patch and shorter aspect ratio

Cons:
-The odometer will read slow (but the time it rolls 100 miles, you actually went 103.2)
-The speedometer will read slow (drive an average of 2mph slower then you intend to)

 

alrite thanks for clearin that up...so all in all do you think I should keep it on

 

As long as they're good tires, sure.

 

also one more thing is that the tires didtn have directional arrows pointin in which direction the tires should go..so we jus put them on any old way...is that alrite

hers a pic of the tread...
