I don't know the number off hand, but a smaller tire with the same air pressure and staging/launching the same way as with a taller tire, will result is a slightly faster reaction time while slowing 60' and the rest of the elapsed times down a bit down the track.

A shorter tire takes less time to clear the starting line beams for a quicker RT while getting less of a running start before clearing the beams and actually starting the ET clocks.
