I think the idea is similar to comparing crash "stars" on different classes of cars. Crash a 5 star compact into a 3 star pickup and the difference in weight is going to make a loser out of the 5 star. So a big tire might have a better RE score but a smaller tire give you better feul economy because there is more to it than RR.
