Personally the stock will give you more than enough grip for a hard launch, and has the proper width for quick cornering without worry of rolling the bead on a hard lean. Putting a fat tire on it may look cool, but the handling will suffer. I'm sold on the Pirelli sport demons, which btw are the stock size.
