Hi
If I put this size tire on my car, will it have any negative effect?Yesterday I bought 4 tires for my car, size 205-60-15, however, the manual calls for tires size 205-75-15. The mechanic, of course, told me it wouldn't but I just want to make sure.

You will actually be driving 3%-5% slower than what your speedometer is reading, that's all.
