Tire Height Questions V70-XC70

Hi folks,
I am considering changing the stock Michelin tires on my 99 V70
to a Dunlop SP5000.
My question is since the height profile on the Michelins is a 60, and
the height profile on the Dunlops' is a 55, will I run into problems?
I realize the height profile determines the relationship of weight
distribution in the width of the tire. Will the lower profile tire decrease
my gas mileage? Will my speedometer register the correct speed.
Thanks for your help with these questions

Larry
