Ditto what he said above.
Anyone whos fitted big wheels to a mini can testify to this.

I dunno about the figures, the equation seems far too simplistic, but the theory rings true imho.

Although, surely having a greater rolling weight would result in greater momentum, hence a slower start but possibly higher speed once the initial drag was overcome?
