Default Tire/Mileage Calculating

So I am going a bit koo koo trying to figure this out, Possibly public school !!

My stock tire is/was the 265 70 17 the new is the 35 12.50 17, I tried Miata calculator but the results are hidden by the picture of the tire! I think I was calculating a difference of 9.?% percent. I found another website that is saying 10.7%.

Any Mayh wizards out there?

Thanks
Rob

Hereis the calculator I use:
http://www.dakota-truck.net/TIRECALC/tirecalc.html


Original size is 32 x 10.43 x 17
New size is 35 x 12.5 x 17



Best I can figure it's about a 9.14% increase in size (height). This will show a slower speed on your speedometer and miles will not appear af fast on the odometer.
