Remember how much difference tread depth makes.
If you wheel is 30" overall diameter with 8mm of tread, then when the tyres are down to 2mm its only 29.5", thats a 2mph difference at the top end.

Tyre pressure can effect it even more than that, its easy for a wheels radius to be out by 5% cause of different tyre pressures (although less true on low profile tyres)
