Maybe I'm missing something here...wouldn't a larger wheel give you more
turn for less input?
(PS - I was lousy at physics so be kind)

If by less input you mean less force then yes ( that's why cars with power
steering usually have smaller wheels, you don't need as much force with
the boost), I think he is saying that you get finer control with the large
wheel, you can move it farther with less turning of the wheels

Exactly. My dad uses the larger wheel because it slows down the user
input. Thus you have to turn the wheel more to turn the front end. For
him, the larger wheel allows him to be smoother behind the wheel.
Then we have the other side...
At an event last year Kurt Janish (CP) broke his steering wheel, 13"er I
think, and he borrowed our 11" wheel to finish the event. He wasn't sure
what to expect but he liked it, as he didn't have to turn the wheel as much
to get the car to react.
