I'm using my GPS.

I ran another experiment. I locked the cruise control on 61mph. I then cleared the average speed in the trip computer and it came back with 59 and then 60 and held there.

So it seems that the speedo is calibrated to read higher. This difference added to the 1% expected from the tire size difference brings me to the ~3%.
