Default H22 guys..... Speedo is almost accurate if.....

I just swapped out my 205/40/16's out for a set of Azenis 215/45/16 and my speedo is only 3-5 mph off @100mph. I went to the track and I was trapping 98-100mph and my speedo would read between 100-105mph when I trapped @ 100. I thought I would share.

Cool man, but how did you get those tires so quickly? I just got my new rims and tires yesterday, but still can't tell yet if my speedo is more accurate. Are the azeni's rubbing at all on your car?

the rear did rub till I rolled them in and the front rub if I hit a pot hole while I turned, the rub less than I thought they would.

Interesting...Because I settle for 205/50/15 azenis thinking that the 215/45/16 would rub a crazy amount.

You should try racing at the track with a JDM cluster in a H22 Civic.... throws you way off (reads a lot higher than what you run). All motor, I'd be at 180 km on the speed and only pull 104-108 mph trap speeds. With NOS, I'd be well past 180 km (which is approx 112 mph) and I'd be hitting 112-117 mph trap speeds. Now that I think about it, the same also applied when I was B20 (B-series) and even when turbo B20... weird (damn JDM clusters )

Also I noticed that the car is about 1" higher off the ground with the new tires, I still have the lowered look with some ground clearance.. Now I wont have to worry about smashing my header.

unfortunetly it didnt help me drop my times, however my 60' went from 2.2 down to a 2.1 but I still ended up with a low 14 1/4 time. I was only able to get one run but I be back at the track wed and try it again.
