The only input to the speedo/odo is through the connection to the tranny, be it cable or wiring. AFIK, there is no "magical" way the tranny can determine distances covered other than by the revolution of the wheels through the axles. That being said, smaller tires=more revolutions of the axles=higher recorded "speeds"=more miles "covered". It is possible to recalibrate a speedometer/odometer to compensate for smaller tires, however.
