Generally, the bigger wheels and tires are heavier than their smaller counterparts and you can definitely feel a difference in performance. It just takes more energy to get the bigger, heavier wheels and tires turning so the car feels more sluggish off the line.

I didn't notice much more road noise but they generally ride rougher due to the smaller, stiffer sidewalls. The larger tires are more expensive too.
