Default Tire help

ok i have a set of douglas alumminum rims with itp holeshots tires(20-11-8) the reason i took them off is becuz they had a flat and right now i have stock rims with kenda tires(22-11-9) i got new holeshots and was wonderin if i put the holeshots back on do u think it would loose any top speed or low end power??????

Thanks for your help,
Kyle

you will loose some topend by switching to 20's from 22's... but the acceleration will be better with the 20's.

you wont loose any power going down in tire size.... just topend because the tire rotation is smaller.

yup, 3-5 is what id say.
but are you at that top speed often? if not the 20's are a much better tire size to run on a sportquad...
