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.

Does tire size change speed of the vehicle?

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.
