Stock tire 215 55 16 New tire 255 60 16 Sidewall 4.7 in 6.0 Radius 12.7in 13.0 Diameter 25.3in 26.0 Circumf 79.5 in 81.8 Revs/mi 797.0 774.0

Speedo reading with non-stock tire is 2.9% too slow. When your speedo reads 60 mph, you are going 61.7 mph.

Kinda sounds like a dumb move, but that is your choice......
