I would stick with what is written on the frame. If you go over the size limit you might end up having clearance problems. Your tires might be touching/hitting fender/frame etc....

For best handling, stick as close as you can to original size tires.

"Wider=better" is low-tech car-based neanderthal thinking. Motorcycles are a little different.
