I still say taller is better only if you lower the suspension equal to the radius increase. Otherwise you increase aero drag. Also, taller sidewalls hurt handling, so taller tires need taller wheels. But it is worth it if you use the bigger wheels to fit bigger brakes. Always use the maximum wheel width for your chosen tire size, and always choose flat-face wheels that still have holes for brake cooling.
