lift kit and tires

I've read about and considered the ebay (russian) lift kit for my 2016 wagon.  However, the total cost [kit+import duties+installation] is simply too much to justify the minimal gain in clearance for me.  "Your mileage may differ".  Though I did go with '60' series winter tires. And will do same when ready to replace summer tires.

 

As for speedo 'error' with larger tires:

  Because manufacturers  CANNOT guarantee 100% accuracy [machining tolerances, customer mods, etc.],  all speedos/odometers are deliberately calibrated slightly "optimistic", but NEVER lower than actual speed for legal/liability reasons !  Same applies {quietly!} to GPS !

Therefore changing from OE '55' series tires to '60' series should not really need any reprogramming of speedo.  "65"series and/or tires with heavy lug tread (mud) likely will need reprogramming of speedo.
