it's a good question tesla, i would use an
on-line tire calculator and figure the revs
per mile for each tire. if there is a difference
then update your pcm accordingly.

you can also use a hand held gps, to see how
your speedometer compares. if it's right on,
no need to do anything.

there is less than a 1/4" difference in tire height between the two. I doubt your speedo will be affected much

this is a great tire size calculator...

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...foTireMath.jsp

I put in your sizes and it's only .21" difference in diameter between the two tire sizes. so on the old tire when you going 65mph on the new tire at the same RPM you'll be going 64.48mph. that's not enough of a difference to worry about.

there's probably lots of these, but here's the tire size calculator I've always used; http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
