I don't think any of us would have trouble with the calculations.
We're just trying to come to grips with why they don't match reality.
There's some incorrect data somewhere, but where?

I think the problem lies in expecting high precision predictions which
apply to each person's car when 2-3% error in the speedometer is
common, and a few percent variation in size among tire models is also
common.
