Tonehole diameters, or more specifically, the inside diameter of the tonehole is the determining factor when it comes to the tuning of the note issuing directly from that tonehole. The outside diameter of a tonehole chimney or tonehole insert like a thumb tube has no relevance when it comes to tuning.

You can have a narrow diameter tonehole insert/tube with a thin wall thickness just as you can also have a large diameter tonehole insert/tube with a thick wall thickness, or the same diameter tonehole with either a thin or thick wall thickness insert.
