As long as the outer diameter of the tire stays the same, you do not need to have anything calibrated. You will end up losing some of the sidewall thickness thus providing a little stiffer ride. If you are going from the Goodyear run flats to anything else the ride will be much improved.

Type in "tire calculator" on google and choose a site to help make a tire choice. Basically take the dimensions of the stock wheels/tires and compare them with what ever size your upgrading to. All the stats will be right in front of you to help you make the right decision.
