very true, my friends that ride have told me the same thing, mostly that, as a new rider, i wont be able to tell any difference between stock tires and aftermarket ones. as i said before, basically the only reason i would think about putting bigger tires on the bike is for the cometic look. IMO i just think it would look a little better on the bike. but, obviously, if it will adversely affect the handling, ill just run on the stock tires, no big deal.
