Default smaller diameter winter tires

I just installed a full set of 225/55/17 winter tires on my 2016 equinox 4cly.

Now the speedometer is off by 6 mph at 72 mph, so I am just using the GPS for the correct speed.

Can this cause harm to the transmission?

​​​​​​As long as all four tires are the same size it won't hurt anything and ABS & Stabilitrak will still work fine too.

Thanks for the reply Ruley73, that was my thought as well. I got a great deal on 4 Bridgestone Blizzak W 80 mounted on steel wheels practically brand new for $400.00
