These are the ride able for long distances, not easily destroy and better than thin Tyre.

Pro- would be good and aggressive look.

Cons- much expensive tire due to its size and some handling issue.

wider the tire affects steering capabilities, thinner tires cut wet or snow conditions better, wider when dry gives better acceleration , or better traction, wider is allways more expensive, stick with stock size, this is coming from someone who used to build custom bikes, maybe go up one size wider, that's my pro. opinion,thinner is almost allways cheaper. I personnelly stay stock size or maybe one size bigger, most bikes can go one size bigger with no modifications
