And in accident-avoidance braking distance calculations, which tire size is a direct factor, speed is squared.

Also I believe it's worth noting, we can assume within normal ranges/surfaces wheel diameter has little effect on rolling resistance or power consumption at steady speeds, but it's mainly determined by frontal area, shape (motorcycle tire vs car), rubber compound, tread pattern, tire aspect, inflation, temperature, load, and road surface.
