OK reader's digest version:

1) What matters is rotational inertia (RI)
2) RI is a function of Mass and Radius of the Center of gravity (or center of mass)
3) CG can be hard to find
4) Larger tires give you double whammy because they increase both mass AND the radius it acts upon

5) Here's how to guesstimate the effects of each.
