I agree with Thymeclock's advice. Don't forget to find out how much the new tire weighs in comparison to the current tire you are using.

I am one-size-up from stock. I considered two-sizes-up from stock, but whereas one-size-up added maybe 1 or 2 lbs per tire, two-sizes-up added maybe 4 lbs. Bigger tire sizes make all your gears taller by x%, but heavier tires increase the load on the engine during acceleration (right guyz?!?!?!).
