About how much top speed does 20 inch tires take of from the stock 22 inch tires? Just a question of curiosity.

 

i think abot 3-5 mph. it takes away

 

About 10% of the top speed.

 

I was curious on this too. When I got my Banshee it had the stock 20" tires on it and my buddy had 22" on his Banshee. We lined them up and mine was deffinatly quicker up until about 3rd gear and then we would even out on top end, but I was always a few lengths ahead so it was hard to say if one was actually faster than the other. We ended up doing a rolling start in 3rd gear and we accelerated pretty evenly. When we got to top speed it was dead even as well. Since we road trails, I threw 22" tires on my Banshee too and we raced again...same results. I pulled up through 3rd and then it was dead even on top. I didn't see any change in acceleration or top speed. It doesn't really make much sense, but that is what happend. Not sure how to explain...
