I would not worry about a 2 mph error. It probably left the factory that way. Anyway the speedo is actually reading faster than your actual speed. It's when the speedo reads slower than your actual speed is when it could be ticket time.

Thanks, I ordered a set of the tire savers. Hopefully they will help keep the new tires round.
