NO

It is illegal to fit different size whels/tires to a vehicle without having had the odometer re-set. Large fine when you are caught.

If they change to 10X the diameter, no.

If they stay the same diameter and only the width changes, yes.

the bigger the tire diameter, the slower your speedometer will read at the same speed, the smaller the diameter of tire, the faster the speedometer will read at the same speed.

Nope.

But how many people need 16 foot tires?

Sure it is. It'll say "0" because tires that big either won't fit under the vehicle, or the drivetrain won't be able to turn them w/o breaking.

Somewhere there is a Boeing 747 missing four tires.
