It was like I added 5 hp when I went to this smaller size, since it was like gearing down plus a great improvement in handling. It corners MUCH better when you use it in conjuction w/ spacers on the wheels.

20" rear & 21" front Kenda Domminators. At the time, they were the lightest in 4ply, the shortest(all 20" tires arn't the same size) & the front were the most aggresive or had angled tread so the front weel drive could bite in vs knobbies that are all in a row I didn't think would bit in as well in 4wd. I still have the same set on after 4 years & have about 1/4" tread left. In 4wd I can still get more years out of them so they wear very well I think.
