change mich 215-50-17 > yok 215-55-17, what to expect
2006 V6 coupe @ 45k miles.
developed yet another bubble on another oem michelin mxm4 (215-50-17 93V).
can get a good deal on a set of low milage Yokohama YK520 (215-55-17 93V) (selling for a slightly quiter tire).
known - Yok side wall a bit taller, so speedomoter will read a ~3% low.
Any performance issues I might expect with the size change?
Also - any comments on the Yokohama YK520?
Would appreciate any advise.

None that you will notice, you'll be driving a bit slower than what your speedo reads because of the increased rolling diameter.
