tire size question

[85250sx]

I was just wondering if I put 1 or 2 size smaller tire on a atv what will be the difference of how it rides.

Do you mean lower profile? Your limited to your rim size pretty much on the width of a tire.

yeah the profile of the tire the size is 22-11-8 and I wanted to know how it will ride with 21-11-8 or 20-11-8.

I went from 22's to 20's and it rides a little hard but it handles and looks better.

Going to a 2" smaller tire will also lower your top speed by as much as 10% provided you don't change your gearing. An 18" will drop it almost 20%.
