Thanks guys found the answer to my dumb question…

Today, these meters count your vehicle's wheel rotations. As long as the transmission isn't turning, flat towing won't add any miles because the transmission remains in neutral.

I feel like this shouldn’t be as hard as it is - If the meter counts wheel rotations, the transmission is irrelevant. The wheels are rotating as it is being towed, right?
The odometer would have to be connected to a sensor in the transmission that records revolutions of the driveshaft - which would explain why the speedo and odo are off when you put on larger tires.
