tires and weight

[98warrior]

Alright guys I have a question, I have 22 in. super swampers in the rear and they get good traction but are too heavy. With the trails ride i need the ground clearance so i have to stick with 22's but if i switch to 22 in. kenda klaws will i notice a good decrease in weight? If so will this decrease in weight make a noticable increase in acceleration?

Klaws arent that light... i ran 22 klaws for a long time and never had any trouble turning them.

I'm running 22" klaws with STEEL rims, and I still don't realize a difference, so you should be fine.

Before that, I was running stocker rims and tires, and they easily weight 20 lbs. less!!

I felt a difference when I switched from Holeshot HDs to GNCCs. They supposedly ony weigh 2.5 or 3.5 lbs less but it felt a little more responsive at all times.

Lol well yeah, but being with the power of the z and the ligth weight tires compared to the power of the warrior and the heavy tires, I would think something would be noticable.
