Going with a wider tire on same size rim causes the tire to deform to conform to the "narrow" rim in its mind. This causes the edge of the usable surface to be at a steeper angle reducing you chances to be able to use the entire tire. Your chicken strips will get wider. Generally a gien rim width will be cool with a narrow range of tire widths. Seems logical to want to match your front to rear as far as how much of the tread you use. You would generally not want a tire combo where the front has no chicken strip and the rear has a half or three quarter inch strip of unused thread. This is of course assuming that you just don't want a bigger tire on your rear regardless of how matched or usable it is. If bigger is beter regardless, forget everything above. The stock sizes seem pretty well matched. Regardless, enjoy the ride!
