How is the reduced effectiveness of braking from larger diameter tires realized?

Increased stopping distance?
Increased wear on pads and rotors?
More pedal pressure required?
All of the above?

Is this really a significant factor when considering a 7% increase in tire
diameter (205-70/14 to 27-8.50/14)?
