Are you planing any mods? the factory tune is pretty good, But if you do some mods then a tune is worth it.

IF you want the car to handle, you may want to consider keeping the front and rear tires the same size. The car is heavier in front that in the rear, and if anything, needs more tire in front than in the rear to achieve neutral handling.
