Sidewall+sidewall+rim = tire height

If you change the height by 1 inch this averages 2.5 mph which also adds lots of miles to your odometer and depreciates your vehicle faster.

Hope this info helps with your decision. I used to work in the tire industry.
Very good info. Any idea how much it cost to have speedo reset? I'm assuming the dealer or a speacialty shop can do that.
Thanks.
