Some people that increase tire size will change the gearing to

I tried to phrase the original question to keep compensation out of the
picture because with compensation, anything can change.

I just wanted to know more about the physics of larger overall diameters.

So far, no reference has given a single good performance impact that
results from just the one change of diameter.
