Says it corrects for oversized tires (35's). Does it actually correct the speedometer or does it just display the corrected speed on the unit itself?

It corrects your actual speedometer. I have 33's on my truck and wanted to make sure my speedometer was correct so I used my gps and my iradar for my iPhone and both were right on the money.

I have not tried to reset my vehicle for a different tire size, but I don't think it can. I would get online with OTC and ask them that question.

Not sure if it is accurate but used it once and it worked great. It is perfect for emergency situations to get you on the road and someplace to assess the repair need....of course if the tire is blown nothing will work.

Yep. It's off by about 5 pounds. It reads more than what you actually have in the tire.

I got one for my 2005 Chevrolet Silverado and I love it. I originally got it to correct the my speedometer and shift points for the larger tires I put on, but I now use it to read and clear dtcs, increase mpgs or performance based on tune, and even for monitoring certain readings. If you want something based on pure performance you may want a blackbear ecu tune. But for versatility and on the go changes, this can't be beat.

The TireMinder displays continuous realtime tire pressures. You'll have to contact the manufacturer to determine the precise accuracy of the readings...I would assume that they're not calibrated to the kind of exacting standards you'd likely need.

It is pretty simple, and instructions are OK ...you have to calibrate the speedometer unit to the size of your front tire, and set the time - the instructions walk you thru. Then attach the speedometer cradle to your handlebar or headset. There is an O ring that allows you do so (like a rubber band only more substantial) There is sensor attached to the cradle via a wire. Wrap the wire around a brake cable down, and maybe a time or two around the fork, leaving the sensor to dangle alongside the front fork. The sensor is then installed via a supplied O ring that permits you to tie it to the front fork (install on the surface of the fork so the sensor faces the wheel). Then there is a little snap- on magnet that gets attached to a spoke; you need to line it up to the sensor on the fork so that it will pass in front of the sensor each time the wheel turns. Needs to be no more than 1/4 in space between them, and it may take some adjustment to get it right. Now snap your speedometer into the cradle on the handlebar and you are all set.

Yes it always updates speed readings quickly even at WOT but I haven't checked it against another gps for accuracy.

I us them on 20x9s on my Suburban, they work fine. Don't know about the offset, if the wheels are for that vehicle there should be no problem with the tires. Speedo might have changed by 1mph at 60. Still good after years of warm weather driving, but I use dedicated snow tires on original wheels in the winter. Probably have 50K miles on them and lots of tread left, but I have not really kept close track of which tires have how much mileage.

Unfortunately with this current model on the ninja 300 I've noticed it is not accurate at all .... Also when downshifting multible gears at once ...it will not indicate correct gear until clutch is released.... I got this indicator for my wife too help her because she is a new rider this year ... And I was very disappointed with it ... I did have this indicator on my GIXXER 750 and it worked perfectly

Whenever I have tried to use the tire size setting it causes the speedometer to be be off by a large factor.

I put a speed sensor on the back wheel last winter for time on the trainer. It worked well! I have not tried it on the road so I can not speak to that. The heart monitor would read 0 on occasion if I sat up straight for too long.

I also bought a tire gauge, but I think the cut-off switch setting on this unit will get you very close. I usually slightly over-inflate all tires (except the spares) on all three of our cars and then use the gauge to let air out lowering the pressure to the right level for each tire. Saves time. The pressure gauge is much more accurate if you are OCD as I am.machine separately

My truck has 85000 and it's made a dramatic improvement. Shift points speedo fix for tire size and rpms go farther between gears. I recommend it. Specially if your running with a lift and oversized tires.

It does measure speed over land no matter how fast you are going. It does not take into account current so depending on how strong the current is your actually trolling speed may be different. For instance, my boat has a speedometer but it measure how fast the water goes past it. My speedometer and the Lowrance don't always read the same because the Lowrance reads how fast I am actually moving in a given direction. Hope that did not confuse you more :-)

According to the manufacturer of my car the speedometer indicates a higher speed than the actual one.This device indicates a more accurate reading and I rely on this now at all times rather than the original speedometer.

Yes. My sister's SUV had a broken speedometer. The local service station's wanted $400.00 or more to fix it. This just plugs into the cigarette lighter and sits on your dashboard, where it projects the speed onto the windshield. The only problem I've really had is forgetting to bring it with me sometimes. Now I leave it in a plastic bag with the keys, so I never forget anymore. It is just for speed, but can show speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour, if you wish.
