Tire question

I have a 98 yamaha blaster and the rear tires that are on it are 18x11x8. I was wondering if I put stock 21x10x8 or bigger tires on it how much low end torque I would loose??

The 21x11x8 tires you have now are larger then 21x10x8 . Yes you lose acceleration with taller,wider or heavier tires.

I ment to say i have 18x11x8 on there now, not 21x11x8. But i want to put 21 or 22 inch tires on it. Im just not sure if those 3 or 4 inches will make me have a significant lose in low end torque.
