Enough of a difference in larger tire footprint to *make* a difference, and the slightly shorter sidewall will help it handle a little better - Most likely noticeable in quicker steering response
Difference is about 2.5%
So at a real 65mph your speedometer will indicate about 63.5
Not likely you'll get stopped for speeding for that spread.
No significant difference in price -vs- OEM size
Depending on quality of roads. If road are good, yes. If they are bad, then higher profile can be much more beneficial.
