Default Peformance hit 100 to 120 rear?

Just mounted a TM II 120 rear because I got it free. This is a big change from the 100/100 D756 I had on there. Anyone notice any loss in performance and or gain in off raod traction with the bigger rear tire?

You'll have marginally better traction, some power loss and possibly less steering. Skinnier tires carve better and widers ones float better. The Trakmasters run a tad small, a 120 TM is roughly a 110 in some other brands. My 110 Michelin is huge compared to the 100 TM, its seems roughly the same size as the few 120 TM's I saw mounted when i was in NJ.

When i switched from the stock rubber to the120 d606, i didn't notice much in power loss... Just a huge improvement in off-road traction.
