Yep, I get what you are saying, like for like there should be very little difference in the aspect ratio, 2mm is the only difference there, minimal impact.
60% of 160 = 96 and 70% of 140 = 98

At the risk of sounding like a mechanical idiot, I was curious how the odometer calculates mileage. In other words, is it based on tire revolutions (i.e. diameter) or does it work off engine revolutions? Just wondering if a different tire size could potentially cause miles to accumulate faster or slower as a result of non-OEM tire sizes.
