I think the data says there is only a little benefit from changing tire size. Plus, there is limited room in the fenderwell and you just don't want anyhting rubbing. Put a different way, unless you are sure there is room for larger tires, the risk of doing it wrong outweighs the potential benefits.

However, there is a HUGE benefit from carefully selecting tires for the properties you want.
