Have a look here: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

and check the revs per mile for the tire size you are running.

You can calculate back from that what the speedo and odo ought to read.

The stock setup just might be that (1) the speedo and odo are NOT going to be precise, therefor (2) which way should the error be? Car runs faster than the speedo says? or slower? If it were up to me, I'd take the safe side and set the error to read slower.

Reading 2.1 miles in 2.0 actual is a 5% error, not tight enoough for many standards, but maybe the best to expect.

Well, anyway............
