In the end what matters is how fast the thread moves - that's the same as the speed of the car, regardless of the size of the wheels.
Well, my tires are in contact with the ground. When in contact with the ground the tread has zero forward motion. The car is still going 45 mph. The only thing on a wheel that is going the speed of the car is the axle. The top of the tire is going twice the speed of the car or 90 mph. Or is my thinkin' stinkin'...?
