Yes the larger the tire the faster the speedometer goes. To get it right have the person who installs your tires to reset your comp. or in older cars the gear in your transmission cable.. yes it does. Different variables effect how much. The main thing is getting your alignment done as well. I would upgrade to a larger brake system with it because you will need more stopping power.
