I used that "inawise" one when trying to track down an available tyres size that wasn't too far out of the original size of the ones on the Supra wheels on my old Celica.
That was because the only available tyres in original, slightly oddball size meant I had to bend over without lube and get a bank loan to pay for them, instead of paying a reasonably normal price for them. |

Bearing in mind that tyre rolling radii do vary slightly with different tyres of the same size, also when they wear and with different tyre pressures.
So with the speed cameras prevalent, its best to check your speedo against a good GPS every now and then, and after fitting new tyres. Also with the tyres at the pressures you use, at running temperatures. |
