If you look on the 1010tires site there is a calculator to show a comparison
of tire sizes and what that means in terms of the number of revolutions per
mile.
So taking 175/70/14 as my current tire size, a 185/65/14 tire would "revolve"
8 times more in a mile( according to memory). This creates a little higher
amount of rev or work for the engine to go 60, and it also shows what the
difference is on the speedometer. The calculator gives other specs too. The
difference is small between the two tires mentioned.
