it's not necesarrily the dimensionally smaller tire that will give u better performance, but a LIGHTER tire/wheel will. there is some goofy physics stuff that happens when you change sizes...but don't use the size of tire to apply to the gaining of power/acceleration, use the variable of WEIGHT.

look up "curb weight of wheels" on google. it's crazy...like, every lb less on your tire/wheel is like taking 60lbs of the truck or something crazy like that. but yea, start with that google search and you'll quickly learn some stuff...

...hen paraphrase it and summarize it in this thread for me so i can understand it =)
