Here's my question to some earlier comments:

Isn't the rolling weight a much more influential attribute that center of gravity of the wheel?
Yes. And a taller wheel takes more to move and stop. Just like gearing. But it's not just the taller wheels the tire height and weight needs to be put into the equasion as well.
