I'd stick with wide tyres if I were you. The lower pressures that they allow will stop your fillings from being shaken out every time you hit a bump.
You can get away with very little central tread on the rear tyre ( especially in the Summer ). It's worth having a bit more tread up front for cornering grip though.
