Default Will it make a big difference?

Hey I was wondering if I put 22" rear tires on my quad (20" right now) if it will make a big difference in acceleration and handleing and other stuff?
Thanks in advance

What kind of tires? Tires like you have now just bigger, or mud tires? Tires like you have now wouldnt slow it down much, but tires with huge ***** and such might hurt ya a lil.

You'll have a faster top speed but won't accelerate as fast.

wont accelerate as fast with 20" tires, but you will have a higher top speed.

What they said and you can make it the same with new tires by changing sprockets.

why do you want to go 22s? if you ride a lot of woods, they will give you an inch more ground clearance in the back... kind of depends on the tire too.. some 22's measure over 22, some measure under..

Ok, thanks for all the replies! The kind of tires I might be getting are Maxxis All Trax and my friends uncle swears by them! He has a warrior and has been buying them for it as long as he has had it and he had a warrior before that too and he bought them for that. He is selling his Warrior to his nephew (my friend) and now he just bought a new Raptor and he bought All Trax for it too. He says that they last forever and he has never gotten a hole in them. So I think that before I go out and buy these tires I will just try out my friends Warrior and see how much of a difference it will make.
Could someone tell me how much faster my quad would go? and also if it will affect doing wheelies much.
Thanks again

more weight, also more weight farther from the center on a rotating object robs hp. Not massive amounts but it does.
