Hey you guys, I think I found the tire I am looking for! It is called the Toyo Versado LX and they have it in stock size but I was thinking of uping mine, a little. I was thinking of going from the 205/60/16 to a 215/60/16. It is a little widder, by .2, and a little taller. But before I buy there do you think this will mess up my oddometer? This tire also has over 20 less rotations a mile, is that bad? This tire comes with a 40,000 mile warrenty and a great price! Thanks:dunno:

That works out to a 1.8% difference in diameter - a little less than 1/2 inch. A speedo error of just over 1 mph at 60 mph, or 1800 fewer odo miles over 100,000 actual. Another way to look at it is that's it's about the same difference in diameter between new and nearly worn out tires (8/32" tread loss x2).

Have you checked the Tire Rack web site to see what sizes they spec for your vehicle? They do plus and minus sizing for you right on the site.

Here's a calculator you can use to check the speedometer error for yourself.
