Large diameter wheels end up making a vehicle ride smoother because they rise over bumps more gradually.

However, larger wheels are also heavier and have more gyroscopic force (the tendancy to stay rolling the same direction) so larger diameter wheels can be harder to change direction (fast turn-in to a corner). This effect is very noticeable in bicycles and motorcycles.
