Default Can I UPGRADE my power cables?

As title says.....

I was wondering, if there is any advantage to changing my red/positive battery cables? You know, like you do your grounds.

Would thicker cables do me good? or bad?

Thanx in advance!

unless you have a large stereo system or something that draws a lot of power then no it won't do anything

Nothing wrong with wire-brushing those bad boys, though, and get the battery terminal shiny too.

It's never a bad thing to replace "up to" 20 year old wires. I know I did. Did I notice a difference? Not really, but will I have to replace them for another 20-30 years......NO WAY!!! And yeah, I upgraded to a larger gauge wire and added a couple of block grounds.
