Not necessarily...I have 205/55/15's on my Sol, and it actually corrected the speedo. I'm now dead on with radar guns, while everyone I talk to is 1-2mph slow. Either way, the difference is so miniscule, he wouldn't notice.

Well on top of that your gearing will change. So your car will feel more sluggish. Also mpg will go down.
