when you grip and your rearend doesnt it'll be little slower.
i guess it depends on what wheel size and profile to determine the tire height

Weight has more to do with it than Height.
The larger the wheel size the heavier it is even if the tire height remains the same..
I went from 16's to 18's and it is definetly harder to turn the tires over.Craig

i went from the stock wheels and 245/50-16 to 17 x 9.5 and 275/40-17 and lost .05. both tire sizes are same height. the wider tires and wheels did two things. added weight and friction. you now have to over come those two forces.
