Tire Treads

So the ZZ comes with 3 different styles:

All Weather, Stock, and Sport Slicks

Do the tires really make that much difference? Would all weather tires on the front dumb the steering down a bit (understeer?)

I'm not sure if it's worth picking up extra tires. It seems they wouldn't make much difference. Someone wanna tell me what they've seen so far?

Thnx.

I have bought many tires...

I have bought both the microsizers tire kit, and the fast and the furious ZZ tire/rim kit, and honestly, the stock rubber that comes with the ZZ cars is what we prefer. All of the the others are not as good, and the stock tires just seem more soft.

Just what I have seen so far...

i agree because i have all three kinds and the slicks don't work as good on concrete. The baja looking tires are cool too
