So I'm in need of getting new tires for my stock rims because they are getting kind of bald on the inside. I've gone to a few places already and they don't have the exact 205/55/R15 tires there, but they do have 205/60/R15's. They keep telling me it'll throw my speedometer off by a few miles an hour and that my braking distance will be semi reduced. I just want to know if that is true or if it's just B.S.

so since i have 18 in rims from the parts car I would be better off getting 215/35/r18 over a 215/45/r18 because my actual speed will be a .13 difference with the 35 and it would be a 5mph difference with the 45?
i know that the 35's won't ride as comfortable though =/ but whatteverrr haha |
