I have noticed my twin trip meters are 5% lower in registering miles driven compared to the odometer. I reset both at 212,000 and when odometer showed 212,100 both trip meters showed 95 instead of the expected 100.

Question is which is accurate? The odometer or trip meters? I run 225/60/15 tires which are a little short compared to stock, but shouldnt both odometer and trip meters register the same?

Mine are the same, but I am running OEM diameter on my G50.

Don't recall a difference when I ran the shorter 225/60-15.

I always reset trip meters when fueling up to monitor MPG, and just happened to be at exactly 212,000 at that time
