Wider tyre - there are several reasons, including looks, just for the sake of it, which IMHO applies to changing from a 180 to a 200. But you did ask! For those of us with older bikes a wider tyre can provide a larger cushion to ride on, also a higher load rating - at least that is my excuse for changing mine!
I've used a similar product to Ride-on, which is intended to deal with the very problem you have. It is normally installed in a new tyre, to deal with a puncture when the need arises. You could use some, or look into getting a vulcanised repair, which may be available from a local tyre shop, which will plug and heat seal your puncture.

That's the truth on the stock Dunlop, you were lucky I got just over 5K. I decided to try the Commander 2 this time, hopefully I will let you know how it is in 10K.....

I spoke with a rep from the "Ride On" company, he stated that I could use it for a puncture so I ordered a bottle and will see what happens then. I am trying to not have to replace my tyre at this point as I have a lot of life left on it (hopefully since it's a Dunlop). He gave me some tips on how to use this produce for my situation.
