I am also from north eastern Pa, Schuylkill County area. In my opinion I would upgrade your suspension first before u decide to get larger tires. I upgraded the suspension to Racertech dual rate springs and it made a world of a difference. the stock spring sag I had was horrible, down to 10inch rear and 11inch front ground clearance. installed dual rate springs and after about 100 miles on them still at 13 inch rear 13.5inch front clearance.The ride quality it totally different then the stock junk,I don't have to slow down for some things that I normally would when stock.If I were you I'd invest in springs before adding larger tires because if u do larger tires with the stock suspension I would imaginethe ride is going to be worse. Also note bigger tires equals clutch kit. Just my opinion. TIRES, now I would give the ITP blackwater evolution tires a try. 8ply, tough sidewall, they grip n hook, and look good as well. Pm me for more riding info here in Pa.
