I dont really know because I'm pretty sure when i'm shifting at 6k rpms i'm at 65 mph and it says that our cars hit 107 in third but that doesnt sound too right

only wasy you hit 65 is either if you were shiting at 7500k rpms on stock gearing....or you have 2.73s in the back and were shiting around 7k.

Also, the second number in a tire size (275/45/17) is what percentage of the width (275/45/17) the height is. Meaning that for the aforementioned size, the sidewall height would be +/- 123.75 mm (45% x 275). What is the complete size of your tires?
You are not necessarily slower, but your car may say you are.
