u will have enough power. i had them on my 400ex last year for winter and they went through the snow rilly good. i still got stuck once in a while but u can get stuck with any tire.
their a lil heavy so u wont be able to rev as fast as stock tires but in snow slower reving gets more grip than fast reving. now i have 18 inchers and 4inches of frame ground clearncs so i get stuck easly in like 3 inches of snow.

i have another question is it easy To adjust your suspension to make it strait cuz my stock tires are both 22 22's but the new ones are 22 20's so it will be 2 inches higher in the front

I put on H-D's once, and DID NOT LIKE THEM! Keep in mind that I ride desert, but the tires would make my back end squirm and fishtale all over the place. I think it is because there is no give in the sidewalls??? Plus, they are HEAVY! I went back to Holeshot XC's, which have served me well for years. Might try iRazrs next time though???

its easy to ajust your preload(ride hight). for the back take a hammer and scrue driver to do the preload. the front its easier if u have stock shocks. and when u ajust the shocks jack it up cuz then that takes most the preshure off the shocks and it makes ajusting much easier.

and for the tires making u squirm and fish tail i didnt notice any of that happining to my 400ex. they get good grip. at least it seemed like it to me.
