Just putting bigger tyres on isn't the answer you still need to think about what you're actually doing on the bike.
Like, I normally fit the biggest tyres I can to whatever frame I ride. Have been doing so for years. But there's no point me sticking massive knobbies on when they're designed to be leaned the fuck over at high speed and have massive side knobs. They'll end up being less grippy and less comfortable because my softcock riding style won't "use" the tyre as it's designed.
