Tire size and A/T shifting points

old wheels and tires 205/65/15 (my stock)
New ones 215/60/16
Speedometer difference is 1.6% (Speedo is slower than actual speed,with the large tires)

will this mess up with the auto tranny shifting points ? will it shift prematurely ?

I think it shifts on RPM and Load not actual road speed
