Yes, tire size CAN affect the speedometer accuracy.  My "summer" tires are 235 70R 15 and that throws it off by 3-4 MPH.  This is based on the GPS MPH compared to the speedometer.  Right now, I have my OEM "winter" wheels and tires installed that are 235 75R 15.  Speedometer agrees with the GPS.  That being said, there IS a way to adjust for different tire sizes using ForScan software and an ELM 327 OBDII connector.  Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that, as I don't bother to change it.  I think our member Anthony (SheltonFilms) made a post about that once.
