Just an update. I have ran a couple of tanks of gas thru the car with the larger tires on it. The assumption is that the larger diameter tire would decrease mileage in town and raise mileage on the highway. My intown mileage has actually has gone up by about 2 MPG. I attribute this to having an alignment done. The car now drives in a straight line.
The car handles better and there is alot less road noise too.
So far so good. Hopefully these tires will be better in the winter. That is the whole purpose of doing this.
