When my speedo reads 80 mph my phone's navigational GPS shows about 80.6. Not out of whack at all in my experience.

The Pilot Sport all season is available in the standard rear tire size. One could go up 1 size with the rear tires if so desired (But not necessary).
I've actually done a pretty extensive comparison between Michelin all-season sport tires and Michelin sport tires...(Maserati GT). There was virtually no discernable difference when performing on the street.

Mine is 4kph - 2.48mph under from the factory so going slightly taller would be helpful, all my newer vehicles have been the same, under by 4-6 kph

Mine was about 1.7 - 1.8 under the factory with OEM tires.

This seems to be the consensus outcome for those who have done actual tire comparisons. Probably would have to do comparison testing on a track to perhaps find noticeable differences (Or very aggressive driving on a public street).

I agree, track driving would likely reveal a slight edge for the sport version, as it should.

Came across this poor guy today. Not how anyone wants to see their LC heading off. Don’t know the owner.

Just reminds me of about the only tool other than a screwdriver included with what I read was included in my trunk tool kit factory new. Something like a tow hook by name as I recall. Still haven't found it, but does give pause on mechanics of how one grabs an LC on a roll-back or otherwise.
