Welcome. There are lots of threads on this topic and, as you continue to read, you'll learn that there isn't one answer to your question - it's all about what's right for you. Like most things in life, the question of more or less hp/torque is full of trade-offs. There are plenty of threads on tires also. This forum contains a wealth of information and a lot of very knowledgeable and helpful members. Have fun with the process! The best advice I can give you is don't expect to answer all your questions overnight - it will overwhelm you. Think things through logically, take your time and enjoy.
