Giant Roam upgrades and mods

Hi guys, new here, good Giant Roam chat. I just bought a Roam 2 Disc 2018 a few months back, love it. Just interested to here what sort of upgrades or mods anyone has done with theirs?

I'm considering a few things. 1) Getting clipless pedals for it, look forward to that, just ordered from wiggle.

2) Has anyone considered lowering the handlebars? I've only just noticed the Roam has a few spacers under the handle bars to be lowered. I also have a road bike where I've taken some spacers out to give it a more aero dynamic position, however I've never really thought about this for the more mountain bike influenced Roam. Has anyone considered or done this? Will it be sacrificing the comfort unnecessarily?

3) Tyres are probably the only other thing I'd consider upgrading. It seeems pretty good as is to be honest, and I'm still relatively new to cycling so not sure if this is needed. How are the stock Roam tyres rated? I mean they seem fine so far though.
