If I remember correctly there was a significant increase in measured HP by reducing tire diameter (and weight) on the roller dyno. I think it was something around 50hp but it's been a couple of years since Nelson posted that...

There is a pretty large difference, 50-100hp is typical.

I always wanted to test this on mine. I never had an extra set of wheels and tires when I'd go to the dyno. The 20's are heavy!
