Sidewall deflection will be dependent on the height of the sidewall, and how it's angled depending on the tire and rim width

Tread deflection may be lessened; it depends on the tread pattern of the two different sizes. The blocks aren't identical on all sizes.

The larger tire has a larger mass to sink away heat with.

Contact patch will vary with alignment (and the above mentioned tire width/rim width)...
