Answer:

Because of Moment of inertia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Larger wheels have larger moment of inertia,when they rotate rotational energy is stored in spinnning of motion so they rotate slowly while lighter wheels move faster comparitively because they use smaller moment of inertia.The thing is to keeping tyre in contact with road,when a vehicla hits a

jolt it is difficult with heavy tyre to be in contact with road. When vehicle loses contact the driver will lose steering control which result in giving a way to sliding friction.
