Tire size won't effect the displayed speed vs rpm. The only time tire size will show a difference in speed is if you're reading by GPS or from outside the car.

Most older cars a changed final drive would affect the speed displayed, but these cars use the wheel speed sensors not a sensor in the gearbox (before the final drive).
