No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Your speedometer likely wasn't accurate before the tire size change
I use my phone as a nav device pretty much everywhere I go with different rental cars and the speedometer is never accurate to the GPS measured speed or the radar based speed limit warning signs I see sometimes
The GPS always matches the radar signs, so I tend to trust it and use it more than the factory speedometer
AfaIk, the tachometer is allowed to be overestimating your velocity by 10 %. On my car, it's pretty accurate when using 15" the factory default summer tires, but it's off by 10 % when using the factory default 14" winter tires.
I don't think so because the 14" and 15" wheels for the same car should have a different second number to their tire measurement to compensate, the manufacturer wouldn't recommend installing tires that will make your speedo different depending on your wheel size.
First number is width
Second number is height of the sidewall as a % of the width
Third number is wheel size
So for example my summer tires are 255/45R20, my winter tires are 255/55R18, increasing the sidewalk height from 45% to 55% of the 255mm width compensates for the wheels being 2" smaller
I know, but still the circumference differs. It's 195/60R15 vs. 185/65R14
Obviously, the 10 % difference are just a feeling.
Check your tire pressure.
Being low or too high is enough to put it off.
