215/40-18 Parada Spec-2 question

I bought a set of Konig Prophets gunmetal, with the Parada 215/40-18 on them, with about 7/32 thread still showing on them. Got them for $550.00. Very clean. My question is, if I keep driving on them, are they going to screw up my computers onboard. I know the speedo will be affected, but anything else? They ride nice and I do not feel adverse road bumps. Have yet to hit a pothole, but I try to keep my eyes open. I am saving for 235/40-18's next year. If I drive them till November, will my TSX be o.k.?

VSA will not work as well because it uses the vehicle speed sensor in it's calculations to recover from a skid. I don't think ABS will be affected because it just uses the individual wheel speed sensors.

Other than that, your odometer will read more miles than you have actually travelled and you will get less fuel economy due to the higher revs.

Thanks Dan. That is something to seriously consider, adding more actual miles and less fuel economy!!!
