We don't use speedo figures as a measurement, they're way to much off for that, we've got GPS equipment for that (not the stuff being used for navigation, it's way more sophisticated). Sometimes we need to accomplish a certain acceleration figure, which can be reached by playing a bit with the tyre sizes. I have lists for that, but not in such a nice way as the site you mentioned.

Interesting... I always figured it by setting cruise control to 100mph and driving until a nice office volunteered to tell me how far off my speedo is. This isn't the way most people do it? That tire calc I've seen around. It's one of those gems of the internet ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1989 - E30 - M20 - Manual.
