    The Highline came with Bridgestone Duellers from the factory (255/60R/1.
    I am fitting the Falkens at a slightly different size - 265/60R/18.

    My question is, is there any kind of speedo calibration required for fitting the new size tyres?

    Any advice and/or pointers you can provide will be appreciated
    I have run these for 80k km so far and just need replacing now. All factory speedo's read under to avoid liability from manufacturer. With these tyres, I can drive 113km/hr and camera doesn't flash even in averaging areas. GPS is the best test as the speedo difference is exponential. Slower speeds, it's closer, faster and its further out.

    VW speedos run 10% fast so when it says 100kmh you will be doing 90kmh.
    I fitted 10% greater diameter tyres to my 2014 to counter that difference.
