Agreed. The physics checks out.
The other poster’s comment about such poor fuel economy and performance seemed off to me, as I don’t understand how a modest change in size and weight impacted them so much.
I’d expect some loss of economy as the vehicle has to work slightly harder, But not more than 10-15% given the minimal tire size increase and moderate weight difference. granted it will take more effort to move a heavier larger tire but we’re talking 30-40 more lbs per tire (rolling) and 5% increase in circumference.
