I will say again it isn’t how quick you can get it up to speed that matters, it’s how quick and stable you get it stopped. After all we aren’t driving race cars!!

My experience varies from yours again. The tires on me 20 wheels are 9.5 inches wide for a total of 38 inches of rubber on the road. My E450 mayor home the tires are 6.5 inches wide for a total of 39 inches of rubber on the road. Since the front tires do most of the heavy stopping I doubt there is much difference in stopping between my 20 inch wheels and my MH.
