is there any difference in the speed or handling? better or worse than the stock ones?
Both worse, speed will go down, and handling will not be as good.
One part of this is true the other is wrong ,
I have a set for my Rusty , a bigger tire will give you higher speed but they don't do anything for handleing. You don't need to use a foam liner in them however they might add a bit of stifness to the side walls
A larger tire can give higher speed, but only if your engine has enough torque to turn them at the same RPM as smaller tires with the same gearing. In most cases this is not possible, lower gearing will be required to maintain the same performance (acceleration) and your speed will either stay about the same or go down.
