You could almost think of a wheel as a radial lever working against you, the longer the lever (ie the bigger the diameter) the more the force is multiplied.
I've heard good things about Michelin Defenders. A tire's only job is traction, so that's the first thing I look at when shopping for tires, tread wear, noise, comfort and LRR come second. I'd rather avoid an accident than squeeze a few more miles out of a tank.
