The larger the wheels the higher the center of gravity. The smaller the wheel the easier the deviation from a straight line ( turning).

On a straight surfaces larger wheels will turn less than small wheels to cover the same distance and usually give a more comfortable ride.

small wheels are affected more by bumps and potholes and may cause a lurch...
