Hi all. I have read the thread of Jose's about his tire replacement from 2021, and since I don't think my problem is similar, the question bears trying again. My car, 77903, currently has 205/70/15 tires on it. We got them shortly after we got the car- it was desperate for tires. I did not have a spare made up at the time as it wasn't deemed needed as the car was "moveable" but not "roadworthy,." It still has the original 640-15 spare in the trunk which has never been used (and does not hold air). I want to start using the car more this year, as I 'think' I have it safe, legal, and have dialed out the largest of the leaks. I am trying to research an issue- beyond lack of a proper spare on a Wire wheel. My speedometer reads 10% fast. This is according to the speedometer app which I put in my phone for this very reason.
Getting around to the question, does anyone know if a 205/75/15 would help the speedo issue and at the same time fit into the wheelwell? My other somewhat more drug induced question is can I get a different gear which I could use to make up the 10% disparity?
