how are you planning on riding. drags? up hill racing or just duning. I would go for the 20x10
its a good size . and what type of paddle are we wanting? haulers? sand skates?

this is my kids quad ,we just jump on it and ride at pismo ...i think haulers ...just put a new axle bairing housing in and found out that one of the rear hubs was free wheeling so now im looking for some new ones ,then maybe i can have some fun on this thing ...haha woundering why i was going around in circles (kidding)..ive seen some small tires in some pics that i have ...wasnt sure what was good.the ones i have on there now are more like hard dirt only tires ,all they do is spin.

I run a 9 paddle hauler on mine and I like them but the only thing bad about them
is when you take a hard fast turn the rear doesnt slide as easy. I found out that the more the paddles
the more power it takes to turn. so for drag racing and up hill climing haulers are the way to go
sand stars or sand skates would be a better tire for what you are doing with it. IMO
and with the smaller tire you get a faster tire spin and more torque but you loose top end speed and ground clearance
