Does this make sense(larger tires, revving, etc.)

Ok, so me and Jeremy traded wheels today. The tires that were on my wheels were 225/45/17, and the new ones are 245/45/17. Well, i'm up visiting my mom and brother until i get my laundry done :lol: and he asked me to take him out in my car. So, i went out and got on it. It seemed like it took forever for it to shift, and seemed just a bit slower, but that was just from the seat of my pants, not on a track. Does this seem to make any sense?

your new tires have taller sidewalls, making for a larger tire diamater, changing your gearing

Well crap, that sux. So that probably does mean that I am a bit slower now. Good thing these wheels are about 100-120 lbs. lighter. I just need to empty out my damn trunk now of Steve's(stevesaphyso) engine parts.
