Default 2.2 tires and pinion swap

Has anyone changed their tires on Volcano EPX pro with a little bit bigger tire and had to swap pinion to correct gear ratio? I ran the math and replacing my 21t pinion with 17t will return my truck to near stock ratio with my new tires. If I go down to 15t will the extra torque help or hurt? I don't want to burn up the motor but also don't want to destroy the drive train. I just cut these 2.2 slingers to fit on 2.8 rim and noticed an instant loss of power.
