Work that out mathematically, I don't see where 16 tooth is better.
900x16 Tires
Speedometer Gear Teeth = (Drive Teeth * Axle Ratio) * (20168/Tire Diameter/1001). Tire Diameter = from ground to top of tire.
Driven Gear (5*4.89) * (20168)/35/1001) = 14.70 pinion Gear
1100x16 Tires
Driven Gear (5*4.89) * (20168)/37/1001) = 13.31 pinion Gear
Fewer pinion teeth will spin the cable faster which would be needed for 1100x16 tires.
