Answer. not by very much, if at all.


This seems to be a perpetual urban myth.


It tyre pressure sensors are using this, it has to be a very very
complicated bit of software to detect - say - less than 1% change in RPM
relative to the other wheels.


You must be in the sales side of speedometers if you think a 1% change
difficult to detect these days.
