Actually, a larger tire will make your bike less stable, the suspension worst and the lean angle bigger.

There is a reason for the engineers that designed your bike to specify that size of tire.

Regarding grip, you can rest assured that at this stage of your riding development, you have a huge amount of grip in reserve.
