The 22's work great for the trails. I have had no issues with being to top heavy at all and I ride mainly trails. They have better grip and ground clearance then the 20's. With the gearing it is just a replacement of the front sprocket with no other changes except a chain adjustment. Lowend power is the same as stock with 20's. I did notice on the track they don't slide as easy. But it is well worth the trade off for trail riding.

 

looks like if you do 1 down in front and 2 up in rear it'll be just a little lower geared. Go with 6 ply, a little heavier but more resistant to punctures from rocks on the trails.

 

ok so i get 22's, drop a tooth in the front and everything will remain the same as far as performance....correct

what do i do with the chain?

WILL THEY RUB THE HEEL GUARDS?

 

For your chain question, you will only need to loosen it to put the front sprocket on, then retighten according to the manual. No other adjustments to the length are required for the 15t or 14t chain. The 22's will not hit your heeel guards.

 

i to enjoy my 22" tires, mine do not rub against the heel gaurds

 

I have 22" Razr's and a 15 tooth front sprocket.

They do hit when the suspension compresses.

 

billsner

are those the 22's in your pic..

and are they the razor2's..i like the side tread on them

 

chirochris: Yes those are the 22" razor2 tires i got from rockey mountain. they have turned out to be a good purchase, very happy with them .
go with the 15 tooth sprocket, no changes to the stock chain. i am a full figured guy, alot of weight when my suspension compresses !!
no rubbing here. go for it!! also i spent the extra buck for the ron woods sprocket, some say it's made a little better.

 

sounds good to me.... i will have to run with the regular sprocket for a wk or so until the ronwoods comes in..no biggy

what about front tires do people change sizes there

i love to wheelie how will it be with the big rears and 15 tooth sprocket?

 

I have 22's in rear, 23 up front. They are great for the rock infested trails I ride on but if you ride on smooth trails, I dont know if you'd need the extra ground clearance. No modifications are necessary for the bigger size tires. The RAZR2 tires certainly have alot of bite to them.
