Tires: p195/50/16 vs 205/50/16, carrying capacity, speedometer


Question
My original tires are 195/50/16 per manufacturer standards and I put on 205/50/16.  Should i be concerned about the following:

1. safety
2. tires are bigger that it might screw up the engine?
3. speedometer being off. slower or faster than the speedo?

Thanks in advance!

Answer
Wendell,

Provided you did your homework correctly - They don't rub, they have enough load carrying capacity, they fit on the rim, etc. - then the differences between the sizes has more to do with the differences between the old tire and the new tire.
