Will this make my TRX300 go faster or slower?

Faster, but at a cost. It will seem like the atv has less power.

 

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you Hondasaurus. Increasing the tire rear tire size will decrease speed, and will increase torque. This is a result of the larger diameter of the tire. The engine will still be turning the sprocket at the same speed, but the circumfrence of the tire is larger, therefore decreasing speed. It works the same was a changing the size of the rear sprocket does. Larger=slower, more torgue. Smaller=Faster, less torque.

 

The bigger the rear tire the faster you will go, but the less torque you will have. This is 100% true. You can compensate for this by changing your sprocket. Remember, you will be faster (top end) but it will take you longer to get up to speed.

 

yup, more speed, less torque

 

yeah, my bad...was having a bad day, couldn't think straight. sorry for messing with your head.

 

If you go with larger dia. tires on the rear watch the brakes, tends to increase front wheel lock up on some models. Hope this helps.
