Amanda, the type of tire doesn't really have anything to do with this. A radial tire that is too tall would have had the same issue. :\ With a stock setup, you really want to stay with a 130\70 or 140\70 size tire. There are only a few larger tire options outside of those that are known to be commonly compatible without issue or customization (gearing, chain, swing arm mods).
Sadly, this tire is now trash and you really, really, REALLY need to think about alternate means of transportation other than the bike until fixed. I will head up to the garage and see if I have a take off that might get you through the rest of the season. You pay shipping and you can have it, it shouldn't be so bad from my area to yours.
EDIT: You will look cool too! No chicken strips!!!
