are aftermarket front tires really that big of a deal do they give you that much more traction. should i get them.

 

stock tires on a Z400 are 4ply,so aftermarket tires are stronger and yes they get better traction if u get the right ones.
-your 03 still has stock tires?i have a 06 and already bought new ones.

 

money is pretty tight im turning 17 next month and i need money for car insurance and gas . i have holeshot hd's on the back and i love them what kind of front tires do you have.

 

Tires make a world of difference, but you have to choose them carefully for your particular riding conditions! I won't run anything but radials anymore: Maxxis iRazrs on my bigger machines, and the new ITP Trac Stars on the 250's.
