No, it plainly says at the bottom "Speedometer reading with non-stock tire is 0.6% too slow. When your speedo reads 60mph, you are actually traveling 60.4mph". You did go with the stock tire being 215-65-15 and the new tire being 215-60-16, right?

The way I read that calculator, though, is that when your speedo says 60 MPH, you will actually be doing 58.1 MPH (or 2-3 mph over at 65) - which makes sense, as it's a shorter tire.

When you say your speedometer is off by 9-10 MPH, what do you mean?
