Yes but you have to shave off a few % from the tire diameter to calculate speed accurately. Chevy does this when determining speedo gears, and the revolutions per mile published by the tire manufacturers do the same. So your tire might measure 25.7" on the lift, but on the ground, it's less. Especially after some burnouts.
