no, they roll slower...the larger the circumference of a wheel they take longer to roll......the larger the diameter the less revolutions, the slower they spin

No. Ever watch a figure skater, when the arms are out ( she spins slowly), when she draws them in, she spins so quick you can't see her face. Same with tires, the bigger they are, the more mass, the slower they turn, and require more power to turn. I've found this to be true on roller skates, I put some bigger skateboard wheels on a pair I have, they looked cool, but they were far slower than the regular skate wheels at the rink. I could not keep up with the other people.

no it takes more power to turn i would go with a smaller sprocket in back and big sprocket in fount for the chain that will give you more top end speed but lower take off speed and just the opposite for more torque
the smaller the size the faster it spins but when your speed says 65 you will be going 70-80 it will increase or top speed of the motor but you will only be going the same ground speed with a bigger tire. motor cycles have only so much power if you dont change the sprockets the power to the wheel never changes so it never will be faster with a biger tire it will just seem like it. so change the sprockets and you will fly
here is a sample a 17 in tire has 72.22 in of travel on the ground with the tire i add 6in to the hieght and a 19 in has 81.64 in of travel so each revalotion the biger tire covers more ground but the sprocket is still turning at the same rate. so again change the sprockets.

In general bigger wheels will increase top speed but reduce acceleration.

no. but spinnin a wheel at 100 rpms... a bigger wheel will have higher speed on the outer edge.
although if you got some ricer piece of **** car, dont go big, you aint got the torque to twist big tires anyway.
what wheel is so big i cant turn it? and what wheel is so small that i am topped out going 65 on the highway? the middle of those two is best for average cars.

they actually move slower. so if you put on bigger wheels your speedometer would show a slower rate of speed. think of it in steps. a child may take 50 steps to walk across the room, while an adult who's legs are triple the length may only take 25 steps... i hope that helps you to understand....

nicely first you may desire to make confident that the component to the wheel that attaches to the axle is thoroughly around and not too small. and the exterior of the wheel this is kinda bumpy should be sanded so its gentle yet not too gentle as a results of fact it won't have any friction. on the paper towel roll desires somewhat weight in it in direction of the front so it somewhat is forced down the ramp.

they are bigger they have a larger circumference and diameter at the same speed they roll slower

Faster than what?
You need at least two things to make a comparison.

No, speed is determined by RPM (rotations per minute) not wheel size.
