your speedometer is calibrated to a specific wheel diameter and is unaware of changes due to tire pressure, wear, using different tires (i.e. winter vs summer tires) etc. All it "knows" is that the vehicle travels x meters per wheel revolution, but that x constantly changes.

This also means your odometer will be off by some margin, and should really only be used as a ballpark value.
