No it will not wreck your speedo or your tranny. The difference in speedo is barely any. And your tranny will not suffer at all either.

You will definitely see a difference in your speedometer, as the snow tires/wheels are 1-inch taller than your summer tires. Will they cause damage? ....only if they contact the fenders or suspension components. I guess the good thing is that you'll have more undercar clearance for snow.
