Well i use the same stock tyres. And a 1 hz gps device is not quite as accurate as a 10 hz gps logger. Especially not in acceleration tests. Your phone gps will only refresh 1 time per second while the gps logger will do so 10 times per second.

But if you are happy with it good for you i started with obd reader then bought xgps pro and used that with racechrono and ended up with a racelogic performance box anyways. Its very reliable if you want accurate data.
