The difference between the stock and your tire:
P235/60R15 245/45R17
Percent Diff
Radius: 331.5mm 326.2mm
1.6%
(Note, this is not the rolling radius, but the difference should be negligible
as a percent)
This means (assuming the speedo was correctly cal'd for the stock tires) that
with the
P245's, you're actually driving 1.6% slower when the speedo reads the same
speed.
