It will be a little smaller diameter. Might throw your speedo off by a mile or so per hour. Shouldn't be an issue, to get the same rolling diameter you would need a 215/55r16.
It means that when the speedo reads 65 you might be actually going 62 mph. There is almost 1 inch of difference in total diameter between stock and the tire you are getting.
oo but beside that any other problem? what if that tire i was getting was a winter tire..would that also effect anything else beside the speedo thing?/
what about in terms of fuel mileage
its just that if i have to buy that tire then i need to buy it by tomorrow..
