Because of the different diameter of the tires doesn't that mean that your speedometer is off therefore also affecting the mpg calculation?

My posted values already account for the speedometer error. Actually, the tires I have were only slightly larger nominally, since I went with a lower profile tire, but the difference was slightly exaggerated by the fact that the old tires had most of their tread worn off, which will tend to make the actual smaller significantly smaller, making the mileage falsely read higher near the latter portion of a tire's lifetime.
