Yes not only does it change the speed of the vehicle, it will also affect the odometer and the MPGs the vehicle is getting (not for the better usually). its always best the check what tire size the vehicle manufacturer recommends for your specific vehicle, the size is listed on a spec sticker on the drivers side door edge or the frame near the latch plate. you want to either match that tire size or get a tire of equal diameter - IE. total height.

How much does tire size effect the speedometer?
The answer depends on the size of the tire in relation to the original tire size. A tire with a smaller circumference will turn more at a given speed, which will cause a higher speed being displayed on the speedometer. A tire with a larger circumference will lead to a slower speed being displayed. The speedometer can be calibrated to correctly display the speed for a different tire size. Changing the size of tires on a vehicle will also change the way the vehicle handles and may cause faster wear on suspension components.
How does tire size affect speed sensors?
The speed sensors are calibrated to accurately reflect the vehicle's speed, based on the stock tire size. If you use a smaller size tire, then the wheels will make one full rotation, faster than the stock tires. This will in turn make your speed sensors read faster than you are actually going. If you use a larger tire, then the wheels will make one full rotation, slower than the stock tires. This will in turn make your speed sensor read slower than you are actually going.

Does size of tire affect speed of car?
Yes. If you put TALLER (width does not effect speed, only traction) tires on a vehicle it will increase your potential top speed, if you put SHORTER tires on a vehicle it will have a slower top speed. I say potential because if your vehicle does not have enough power, it will not be able to turn bigger tires at high speed. Also, a taller tire will lower your acceleration in most cases, and a shorter one will increase it, assuming you can maintain traction. Remember to have your speedometer calibrated if you get taller/shorter tires, otherwise it will not be accurate.
