Changing tyre size can affect Speedo & odo meter

Changing tyre size can affect Speedometr & odometer reading
I want to confirm that wheter changing size/profiles cause changes in wrong speedometer & odometer readings?
I have read some where that if you change tyre size or rim size then your speedometer & odometer may give you differnt reading because that speedometer & odometer is actually designed for company's recommended tyre size

so what is the correct way of judging speedometer & odometer reading beacuse I have changed my rim size & tyre size so please tell me how can i get actual reading of both meter

Yes definitely.
If its smaller than orignal it will Over read.
and if its larger than orignal it will Under read.
Somtimes stock cars has error. in speedometer reading its usual.
Unfortunately we have no testing crew to check the actual speed and indicated speed.
