Calculating miles (mpg) with oversized tires
The stock Del Sol tire size is 195/60/14, but I'm currently running a 205/50/16. The tire size is 3.58% larger over stock per:

I log my MPG on the fueleconomy.gov website, but seeing as the new tires are over sized I will have an incorrect reading. Would I simply take my mpg traveled, say 300, and multiply that by the 3.58% to get the miles to add? IE:
300 X 3.58% (0.0358) = 10.74
10.74 + 300 = 310.74 actual miles
Would this be the correct way. I'm fairly sure it is, but figured I would double check.
