if i would switch to a 20 in tire in the rear on my 250 would it have a noticable difference?

Yes u will feel a diffrence, I just put 20 inch razers on my 250 and I notice a lot of acceleration ans it feel a lil quicker in the sense I can reach my top speed quicker.I recomend u get 20 that's the best size tire out there u won't regret it and about loosing top speed u will loose 3mph at the maxz.I clock my bike at 50 with 20 on and maybe 52 with stcok tires

dude you arent going to tell there is a difference. maybe you will feel like you are closer to the ground, but after your first ride, the slight change of acceleration you feel wont be significant at all...

Yupp, what he said.

Pretty much you lose a lot of top speed (very noticable) and don't gain a lot of acceleration. It does slide a little better, but not worth it in my opinion because you lose a ton of top speed.

i did it and it seemed a lot more stable......really planted it...but you do lose and little ground clearances.

Heck, you only live once and don't live with regret, so I'll do it. It's only money.

and what about tire width, I went from 10 to 11 and felt nothing but then again my tires were all full of air to keep them plugged. What is the difference besides 11s being wider?

what type of riding do you do? if you do muddin and woods and **** like that just keep 22's and put mudlights on them but other riding i would just put the maxz or w.e tires you were and run it with stock rims.
