Good morning all.
My Ducato 2016, 2.3 speedo reads 70 when the satnav says 65.
Running on 15" rims at the mo with 215/70/15 tyres.
Not a problem as I think I can adjust the overspeed warning.
But it would be good if it was accurate.
Added complication:-
Getting alloys, could stay with 15" and same size Falken 01, which are the tyres I fancy.
Load rating is 109/107, but speedo would still read high.
Other profiles are available but the size that puts speedo correct has poor load ratings, only just good enough.
Would like to go to 16" and 225/75/16 tyres.
Excellent load rating but speedo would read even higher!!!
Other profiles are available but again load rating goes down, although not as bad as 15" versions.
Really did want higher rating as it allows loser pressures to give a softer ride.
Axle weights in full trim are 1610Kg front, 1500Kg back
Can anyone think of any solutions?
Can the speedo be recalibrated and how ?
Have emailed 3 suppliers to for their recommendations.
Waiting for reply.
