Assumes the speedometer was calibrated for the original tire. Real rolling circumference varies.
A percentage difference, including under 3%, does not establish that a tire is safe or compatible.

Installed tire example; it does not change with your inputs.
A size code describes geometry. These reference images show the tread, sidewall and wheel details that a size alone cannot specify.

Tread-detail reference. Section width is calculated separately.
