20 inch or 22 inch on the rear
i know the conditions change and one is better than another but when you have a budget,which will best suit a person for tight hilly courses?

get the 20's. 22's are great for mud and real rocky tracks but on a good day you will wish you had 20's.

If your on a budget, u would rather run a 22" tire, That way u dont run into any problems and u dont have to sit a race out, Cuz u cant get thre the ruts!!

i disagree if you are on a budget get the 20's. you can still use them in the mud, and your bike won't handle like crap everytime you ride

for 9 years I have raced with 20" and never have tried 22"

the last 2 years have been Razar 2's

it seems like the more peaple that goe to the 22 are going to leave the guys coming out of the wet creek banks no choice,with those deep ruts.

im just telling you i have both in the garage. the 20's are the chioce 85% of the time. if you try both you notice the quad does not corner nearly as well, with the 22's. and if you can ride good the ruts are not a problem. only when it is a muddy mess will i choose the 22's

20" all the way... Its a more overall tire size and a set of RAZR 2's will get you through anything. I used to do alot of woods riding before I went strict MX and never once used a 22". Youll be more than fine with the 20's man. If you get the 22's you will definitely regret it. Plus....They LOOK dumb!!!!

Thats 100% true, But if your like me, and the only income u have is flipping burgers at your High School job, I would buy 22's, But if ur makin enuf money I would buy both sets, And just run 20's Untill u need the 22's

I have ridden with 22's and 20's both, And as far as handling, I disagree with bigbadbeny, They have a huge diffrence in handling. And as far as handling goes i would rather run a 20, But i have what i have! Incase i need the extra height!

20's. I've been through some serious mud/ruts with these things and never gotten stuck yet.

22's are only good on real rocky or super muddy tracks.
