they are suppose to be the same size....

be aware that the increase in size will mean your odometer will be off (might be a lot, you need the tire size to tell you the % of how much it will be off) for example, bigger tires mean you are going faster then you think. if you are going 60mph, you might really be doing 65mph or 70mphm or the reverse is true, you might only be doing 50 - 55 mph when your car says 60.

it would be a good idea to look up the difference so you can calc the speed in your head while driving to prevent tickets.
