2011 patriot sport 2.4L 6speed cvt. Will 225/65/17 put unwanted stress on CVT? At Jeep dealer getting cvt serviced, fluid,filters. 99085 miles.

I asked my dealer if running 225/75/16s would void my lifetime warranty and she said it wouldn't. Logically I suppose it's a wash: it will have to rev a little higher to get you moving, but it will run at lower RPMs at speed.

Difference in the speedometer/odometer reading is marginal. If you get a speeding ticket, you deserved it anyway. 👮‍♂️
