Wider tyres slow the steering down, I would stick with what the manufacturer specified.
There is no gain to going for a wider tyre on a bike like that.

Stick with the standard spec. I've an awkward size on the VFR 750, always have to order tyres in for it because of the awkward size but that's what the spec is from Honda...
