Aren't there dire warnings about using different size tires in your owner's manual?

Why don't you measure the tires in question? Your 2% on paper might be far better, or worse.

Different width of tires should lead to different rolling circumference as the same tire pressure will stand taller on the wider tires. (Maybe I have it backwards, but there is a difference.)

I deal at a full-service tire dealer that I have known for years, when I had a tire go south, he found a take-off that matched exactly and only cost me $20.
