OK, so this is what I ended up doing. I stayed with the stock rim and found a tire with the widest specs for that rim, as per recommendations from other forum members. Anyway this should've been an Avon 90/90 Roadrider AM26. But I was somewhat disappointed to find that the specs were a bit over-rated. The width spec for my stock Dunlop was 3.25". The same spec for the new tire was supposed to be 98mm or 3.90" but it actually measured 3.625" (3 5/8"). So instead of being nearly 3/4" wider than stock it was only about 3/8" wider. Still an improvement though.

I don't know if it was a misprint-I saw the same specs on more than one site, along with Avon's own website. I would've just bought the Venom if I'd known this before. The width for it is listed as 94mm, 3.70" while the Roadrider is listed as 98mm, 3.9"-but the Venom is wider!
