 Skoda Superb Estate - 10 tyres - ok or not to fit 215/45 instead of 22 - bathtub tom
Your gearing will be different. The engine will run at higher revs for any given road speed, but you may not realise this because the speedo will also be reading high.

Use this link to calculate the difference. Scroll down to 'A tyre size calculator.'

I'd recommend contacting your insurance company. I recently changed my tyre size and all they did was make a note on the policy for no change of premium.
