I would run 20 inch Holeshots.

New holeshots will be taller than your bald stockers and you will notice a big difference. 22 just seem to tall and your quad will sit high in the back.

My friend went with 22's on his '02 Warrior. He was able to go over things that I couldn't with my stock tires on my 400. If your doing mostly trails & hills I would go with the bigger tires. Also go with the 6ply.

i'd buy 2 sets with rims so you can switch for diffrent riding like on tracks use your 20's and 0n trails use 22's or for woods and mud mudshark makes 21's but i dont know how good it will pull the 22's wnless you go down one tooth on your countershaft sprocet

I would go with 20s. I think that size is the best all around tire. They give ya enough ground clearence to make sure ya don;t hit most things and they don't make ya have no torque. The 22s are dumb in my opinion because they take away so much torque.

20's will give great hook-up, especially while riding a track. 22's give better ground clearance.

I personally have 20's on my 250r for the track, but keep 22's on my 250X for trail riding.

One thing I do notice, the 22's have more of a tendancy to"fold over" when getting sideways around a corner. It all comes down to personal riding style. Taller tires are usually better suited to trail riding.

I find myself going faster over rocks, logs, streams, mud, and ruts than with my 20's. You will definetly notice a performance drop with the 22's... But you will gain the ground clearance that you may want in GNCC.

Note: Even thought the ITP XC tire and Maxxis Razr tire says 20 inch diameter, they still have a larger diameter than your stock 20 inch tires... Something to think about.

stick with 20's
