Lance - if the diameter of the wheel is reduced by 4", the circumference is reduced by 12.56 inches or roughly one foot, if I did my math right. So for every revolution of the smaller diameter tire it would travel one foot less in distance than the larger tire. Assuming the larger tire is maybe about 4.5 feet in diameter, the circumference would be 4.5 x pi (3.1415) or about 14 feet. So, one revolution of the smaller tire is about 13 feet, or roughly 92 percent of the larger. The speed (distance/time) of the smaller tire would also be somewhere around 8 percent less than the larger tire, more or less. (Adjust the math for whatever the diameter of the larger tire is.) The larger the bigger tire is in diameter, the less the percentage change is. In my opinion, it could be significant, and you may be on the right track.
