    new tires for my 82 R and a question

    Right now i got 22x11x8 on the rear right now and im gonna get 20x11x8 and my dad said that it would be easier with the 20x11 tires for the front tire to pop up and easier to flip it is that true i thought it was the other way around.

    dad's right
    The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

    thats got nothing to do with it, its nothing like "all sport trikes should have 20inch tires", its personal preference, it is a fact that the smaller the height then the quicker the excelleration will be, and the taller the height the more the top speed will be

    its just what you want......fast exceleration or more top speed
    Give me no lip and I tell you no lie.

    All sport trikes shouldn't have 20" tires. If anyone rides in the woods, they should have at least 22" tires for ground clearance. Racing, I could see 20 inchers but I like 22" more for all around.

    If you ride wide open flat trails, get 20x11 for faster acceleration, or 22x11 for more top speed. For trails, go with 22x10 or 22x11. My Foreman has 25x11x12.
