It'll throw off the speedo just a bit, but not bad. They'll also fit just fine.

You will be 3.4% to slow. So when the speedo reads 60, you will really be going 62.

This. I have the same problem on my Silverado. Once you get used to it, its not an issue.

I think they're a fine substitute as long as the tires are good and the price is right.
