Saw a truck around town today with a ridiculous lift kit and chunky off-road tires that were clearly much larger than factory standard, and it got me thinking; if you install this kind of modification in a car, do you need to adjust the speedometer to compensate? What about the odometer?

My logic is the only absolute measurement the car has is how fast the wheels and drive shaft are turning, so presumably there is some sort of multiplier - 1 revolution = X meters - that is then used to show speed and track distance travelled, but that factor would need to change if the circumference of the tires did

      Concluding that someone is a lesser human because of their skin color seems just as illogical to me as calling someone a racist because they drive a lifted truck. These things are completely unrelated.
