265/65 R18 vs 265/60 R18 ??

Will I notice much difference between my stock 265/65 R18's and a replacement set of 265/60 R18's?

I found this tool several months ago. Not real work experience, but the tool says 3.3%. When your speedo reads 60, you will be traveling 58 mph.

If you have the same size stock as all the other 18", it is 275/65R18, not 265.

Actually.. my post is wrong. I have 265/60 R18's...

And they are stock Lariat rims and tires.. that's weird???

Well - I guess that answers my original question. I won't notice a difference on those tires.. lol.

I see what I missed. Those size tires only come on a 4x2. I was thinking 4x4. On those you get the 275/65R18.
