Will my truck be faster with smaller tires?

A smaller tire lets you put more force from the wheels to the road, and theoretically accelerate faster. However if your car cannot maintain traction, then it won’t accelerate any faster as you’ll just be spinning the wheels and sliding around. So in this case, adding larger tires will decrease the force you exert.

Are smaller or larger tires faster?

Yes, smaller wheels accelerate faster, but it doesn’t matter. A 29” wheel has more mass at a larger radius from the centre of rotation (the hub), and thus has a higher moment of inertia than a smaller wheel and is harder to get moving. So yes, bigger wheels will accelerate more slowly.

Can you put smaller tires on an SUV?

The engine size of an SUV is also far greater than that of a small, compact car. The size and weight difference between an SUV and a regular car require entirely different tires to handle everything. That’s why you need the right tires for your SUV and smaller tires on an SUV is definitely not the way to go.
