3.12% smaller rolling radius than 185R14 - I guess the speedo should be pretty good still

I would have prefered to see something larger but if they are free :?: we can;t complain :lol:

I asked my mobile screen fitter to save me a cracked one to replace so the screen could be used in the build, but the surrogate has a big chip that I didn't notice :cry: , not sure how it got there :?: :?: :?:
