Abell - Yes, I went both wider and taller (.75" wider, 1.1" taller). That may have negated some of the benefit on the highway, but with a tall riding vehicle with a pair of big solid axles underneath, aero drag from wider tires isn't exactly significant, relative to the rest of the undercarriage, etc.
