Who knows? Not enough information.
What you can rely on, however, is the following:
- Acceleration will be slower
- Braking distance will be longer
- Speedometer will no longer read correctly
- Odometer will no longer record accurately
- Gas mileage might get better, but then again, it might get worse
- Tire pressure recommended on the door jamb will no longer be correct
Other than that, the tire will fit on the rim - good news!
