Default speedometer reading wrong..

for some reason my speedo isnt reading correct, atleast according to a couple speed sign thingys. everytime i drive by a couple of those speed signs, the speedo dosnt match up with the speed on the sign. its not just one sign, but a couple of em. say if my speedo reads im going 30mph, the sign will say im goin 27...i have to correct tire size(195/50R15 Kumho ECSTA Supras) but for some reason the speedo is off. any idea as to why?

thanks!

All Honda and I believe all vehicles speedos are off. I have the speedo showing 190km/h when Power FC commander showing only 172.

All the speedos are wrong to a degree. Better that they're high than low though.
