Hi, On my syncro I found that when I put 15 inch wheels with Agillis 51 tires there was no difference in the diameter of the tire, hence no spedo change. I was concerned with tire height because if I had any more height I wouldn't be able to drive into the garage. BTW this is the second set of Agillis 51's and they are great tires. Good wear too, I took them off at 50,000 with tread still left. Todd
