Don't worry about the tire SIZE as much as the weight. Weight is what robs power, not the actual size. larger tires will gain more top speed though. I don't think you're going to notice any difference changing a couple pounds either way.

IF you don't plan to go off-road you don't need a thick heavy duty carcass.

A standard golf cart 18x8.5-8 tire is approximately 12-14lbs (not including the wheel) depending on what brand/model/etc.

20-22 inch tires vary between 15-20lbs, again depending on brand and model and size. Visit the tire manufacturer's site and look at the specs.
