Best Answer

It will harm fuel economy stability and handling

It will help ground clearance and very very rarely fuel economy if the change does not increase rolling resistance.

Does size of tire affect speed of car?

Yes. If you put TALLER (width does not effect speed, only traction) tires on a vehicle it will increase your potential top speed, if you put SHORTER tires on a vehicle it will have a slower top speed. I say potential because if your vehicle does not have enough power, it will not be able to turn bigger tires at high speed. Also, a taller tire will lower your acceleration in most cases, and a shorter one will increase it, assuming you can maintain traction. Remember to have your speedometer calibrated if you get taller/shorter tires, otherwise it will not be accurate.
