How would it affect my SUV if I replace the standard 235/65 R-17 tires for 275/60 R-17 tires?

Question

It is a Mitsubishi Endeavor, I intend to replace the standard tires for pirelli scorpions 275/60 R-17, How would it affect its performance?

Answer 1

If the tires will fit your rims, you will not notice much of a change in performance, but your speedometer might read about 507 mph slow. When it says 57mph, you will be going 50 mph. The thinner profile will also cause a slightly harder ride.
