Is the difference small?

The overall diameter differs by 0.00%, which is within the common 3% rule of thumb.

The rule of thumb keeps a replacement size within about 3% of the original overall diameter. It covers diameter only. It is not a fit, load or safety check, because width, wheel diameter, load capacity and clearance matter too. Confirm any size change with your vehicle's owner's manual or a tire professional.

Speedometer difference

The two sizes have the same overall diameter to two decimal places, so the speedometer reading would not change in any way you could see.
