Putting larger tires on your car will give you higher top spee with less torque. However, changing the tire size will make your speedometer inaccurate.

Do bigger tires affect the speedometer How do you calculate the difference I had 14 inch tires and now have 17 inch tires?

Bigger tires only effect the speed compared with the speedometer if the total circumference around the entire wheel and tire is larger. I replaced my 15 inch tire with a 17 inch and there is no difference. The size (14,15,16,17 etc.) is simply the size of the rim and the hole in the tire for the rim to fit. Most of the time you wont need to worry because the tire sidewall will be thinner to accomodate for the larger rim. The only time you should really be worried about that is if your putting really big rims on a car or putting big tires on a truck. If the total circumference is larger than it will have to be taken to a dealership or mechanic to be recalculated.
