How does the size of a bicycle's tire affect how far it travels given a specific amount of pedaling?

The diameter, together with the gearing ratio between the chain ring by the pedals and the sprocket at the rear wheel is what decides how far the bike will travel for each full turn of the pedals.
If you keep the gearing ratio the same, but switch to a bigger wheel the bike can go farther - but pushing the pedals will become harder.
If you keep the gearing ratio the same but switch to a smaller wheel the bike will go shorter, but pushing the pedals will get easier.
