yater, I have two sets for my '85sx. One set of 22x11x8 Mud-busters(mounted on gold rims bought from PLJ! :clap ), great in snow and mud, and a set of 22x11x10 Fast-Trekkers(on .190 Douglas rims) that I use for trails,hill climbing@Badlands and yard work. I tried a set of 20" tires once, didn't like them. Felt like I lost a gear,no top end,and sx's don't need any more bottom. I think you might have been better off getting 22" tires and finding a new/different/better rear shock,sounds like yours might be blown/bad.
