A few days ago I installed a 150/70-13 Bridgestone 'Hoop' rear tire on my Forza - so I took note of my speedometer reading as I passed through 3 of our local speed/radar signs.
For whatever reason, according to the display on the sign, my speedo is dead accurate with these new tires.

Fish did you have to trim out the rear mudguard?
Any rubbing?

Some large folks have experienced rubbing with using a 150/70-13 tire. Not sure how large you have to be for that to be an issue. I put a 150/70-13 Metzeler Feelfree on my Forza. I'm 185 lbs and it's not an issue for me. Got 7000 miles so far on the new tire and looks like it's still good for quite awhile, only got 5400 miles on the OEM Dunlop and the steel bars were showing.
