Remember it's the actual measured height of the tire diameter which you also lose the squish of the contact patch.

Having been in both Sweden and Brazil I think I would have let my imagination run a little wilder for an occupation. 
Actually with all the math it takes to fly those big ass airplanes I think you're going to have a pretty easy time figuring this out.

I haven't experienced this with other vehicles that I've actually measured, but obviously there is a good chance that this is the case. I'm basing my speedometer on my GPS, which was accurate prior to the gear change and accurate in other vehicles. I also timed my jeep using known distances. I'll measure when I get home for curiosity.
