Message: I have heard conflicting opinions that a smaller tire will give me better low end, worse high end...

Message: well, the smaller size tire diameter will spin faster = faster take off
smaller tire size also needs more rpm to spin faster so you will do more rpms at higher speeds....but not that much....
so i guess it might be half true because it doesn't change the amount of power...just applies it at different times...
going to a smaller tire is like getting numerically higher gears.
if you are curious about rpms with different size tires go to www.ring-pinion.com and look for the calcutator, you can input a tire size and speed to find rpm....will also show you how to get tire diameter on different tire sizes.
hope this helps
