Your speedo will be showing less than actual speed. The bigger the tyre the less RPM, the smaller the more RPM....

Yes it would be showing You are going slower than You actually are,,, so be careful...
Original size tyres were 5.60 x 15 crossply tyres
or 155 x 15 radial tyres.
Speedos are usually around 5% fast...
