On the other hand, what one really should be caring about is not the mileage per se, but how many cycles are on the drive train. The distance the chassis has moved doesn't really matter.

But each cycle represents more wear with the larger tires, since the drivetrain torque is higher. You can't cheat physics.

It's probably not a linear relationship though.

Correct—but having a functioning speedometer is generally useful.
