What is the implication of overall tire diameter (mounted) on a car's performance characteristics. Put another way, two cars equal in all respects, including gearing and final drive, both having 15" wheels but one car's tires have diamters of say 24" vs 23" for the other.

If the diameter of the tire is different, then the gearing is by default different.

24" Dia - slower acceleration but higher top end.
23" Dia - quicker acceleration and a lower top end.
