If these tires change the speed in any gear then that amounts to a change in gearing. So in this specific instance wouldn't this amount to slower acceleration? Also, what about the weight of this tire - can I assume it is heavier than the OEM tires? Last question - wouldn't you need to change out the staggered wheels since I don't think you'd want to rotate the rear rims to the front.
